“If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is ‘thank you,’ that would suffice.” –Meister Eckhart
Jesus heals ten lepers today, but only the one returns to thank him. Really, we are the ones who benefit when we take the time to say thank you to him. Jesus’s kindness and mercy can change lives.
If we only remember to thank him each day, we would show a small amount of recognition for all God does for us. A simple thank you to Jesus upon rising, at meals, and at the end of the day conveys an awareness that kind and generous love has been showered on us.
Do we thank God for our blessings? How often are we truly grateful for all we have been given?
We are grateful, O Lord, today and every day for your love.
