A Thankful Heart

Luke 17:11-19

English Standard Version (ESV)

Jesus Cleanses Ten Lepers

¹¹ On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. ¹²And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers,^[a] who stood at a distance ¹³and lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us." ¹⁴When he saw them he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went they were cleansed. ¹⁵Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; ¹⁶and he fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷Then Jesus answered, "Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? ¹⁸Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" ¹⁹And he said to him, "Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well."

I have much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving season.

Have you given thanks?

[Edit]

Matthew and I were going to watch a (second) movie this evening... but he decided he no longer wanted to. So I must satisfy myself with doing some homework and of course, updating the blog.

My list of things I am thankful for include:

Jobs for both my husband and myself.

A nice house (and a husband who has really stepped up to help keep it neat and clean).

Preggo pants.

Patience, for myself and Matthew.

Health insurance.

Good books a plenty.

Almost being finished with my Master's (only 3 more weeks!).

Not needing to buy new winter shoes yet since I live in VA (my normal winter shoes aren't comfy being preggo).

Netflix- let's be honest, it's my friend.

Facebook- easy communication, especially to those I don't want too close of a relationship with (again with the honesty).

ESPECIALLY: My handsome, growing, thumping baby boy!

Of course, there are the things I am thankful for every year:

My relationship with Jesus Christ.

My family.

My friends.

My kitties.

Yes, I have a lot to be thankful for this holiday season. I have been extremely blessed in life and I cannot wait to see what is next!
