Because the 4th Thursday of November just rolled around I thought I would write a quick post about being thankful.
It seems like every awards show when an actor, performer, or athlete wins a big award they have a long list of people they like to thank. From their agent, to their cousin, to their grandma they don't want to leave anyone out. However one name that is rarely mentioned is that of the Lord. Most people today don't seem to know or care how the Lord has blessed them and provided them with opportunities to be successful.
This attitude is nothing new. In the 17th chapter of the book of Luke Jesus healed 10 lepers from a terrible and (sometimes) incurable disease. Only one of the lepers thanked him and the passage indicates to us that Jesus expected the other 9 to come back and thank him.
We should let God know that we are thankful for what he does for us and we should also thank our elders, preachers, teachers, etc. for what they do for us. We should also thank one another for the help they provide us.
