Giving Thanks, even for the little things

I just heard a sermon on this on the radio last week and I felt the need to share it with everyone. It's on the tpoic of giving thanks to God for even the exciting things and the bad things.

Luke 17:11-19 Ten Healed of Leprosy

11Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[a]met him. They stood at a distance 13and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"
14When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.
15One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.
17Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" 19Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well."

CW's Commentary: This one man came back to Thank Jesus out of all 10 who prayed and asked Jesus to heal them. If we pray to ask God for a blessing and he blesses us in a way we expect or even in ways we don't expect, we should still praise and THANK him for answering our prayer in the way that is best according to HIM. It's not about what we want in life, it's about God's purpose for our life.

So during this thanksgiving season, don't forget to thank God when paryers are answered according to our will or according to God's. It's all apart of His plan for our lives. Set yourselves apart and BE THANKFUL!

God Bless!
