Be the one: give thanks

Be the one: give thanks

With thanksgiving just next week, I decided it would be a good time to do a post on thanksgiving. So let's do this!

So we will be looking at the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17:11‭-‬19 MSG.
"It happened that as he made his way toward Jerusalem, he crossed over the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he entered a village, ten men, all lepers, met him. They kept their distance but raised their voices, calling out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” Taking a good look at them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” They went, and while still on their way, became clean. One of them, when he realized that he was healed, turned around and came back, shouting his gratitude, glorifying God. He kneeled at Jesus’ feet, so grateful. He couldn’t thank him enough—and he was a Samaritan. Jesus said, “Were not ten healed? Where are the nine? Can none be found to come back and give glory to God except this outsider?” Then he said to him, “Get up. On your way. Your faith has healed and saved you.”

So who are you in this story, the 9 or the 1?

I am sad to say, I am somewhere in the middle. So time I am so thankful, I Express it, other times I seem to forget the one who is blessing me. So I challenge you give thanks this week!
