A lesson on thankfulness occurred when Jesus was traveling to Jerusalem through Samaria and Galilee. He met ten lepers. They cried out to Him: "Jesus Master, have mercy on us. He told them to go show themselves to the priests.
As they went to obey Jesus' command, they were cleansed of their leprasy. Even though all ten lepers had been healed, only one of the men thought to return and thank Jesus for the miracle He had performed for them. The man "turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face of (Jesus) feet, giving Him thanks." Jesus said to him., " Arise. Go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole."
Sometimes I wonder, would I have been the one who returned to thank him? How grateful are we for all the many blessings and miracles in our life? I have started writing every day for the things I am grateful for. I got that idea from President Eyring's talk "O, Remember, Remember" back in October 2007.
Con amor,
Vero
