THANKFULNESS

Today's scripture stories are all about being grateful and giving thanks for what God has done for us. 

Naaman experienced healing in a strange way, just bathe in the river and you will be healed of your leprosy. Often God asks us to do things that seem strange to us to achieve wholeness. Thankfully we do not have the disease of leprosy but often we do hold on to ideas and resentments that make us sick. May we let go of the things that keep us from God's simple directions to us to achieve fuller healing in our lives. 

Being thankful for the simple things of life are a choice. Another story of today is the one of the 10 lepers only one came back to say thank you and he was one that was not accepted by those in his day. 

How so very hard it is for us to say thank you when we have to go back out of our way to do so. 

This week I pray we are aware of the little things God does for us and to say thank you.
