thank you

Friday October 15th, Luke 17: 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. Luke likes to use the Samaritan’s as examples of those who “get it” in order to help those who consider themselves to be insiders “get it.” God’s grace extends to all. Our act of receiving this grace with gratitude helps us “get it.” In your prayers, how much is “give me,” and how much is “thank you?” Perhaps a bit more on the “thank you” side of things would be more helpful, not only to say it, but to live it. Go live a “thank you” life and count your blessings.
