Your life is tied to your thankfulness

Luke 17:11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[a]met him. They stood at a distance 13 and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"
14 When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.
15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.
17 Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18 Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" 19 Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well."</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">What happened to the other nine? One was made well, which in the Greek translates to "Whole." The other nine were not it leads us to believe. Did leprosy return to their life later? It says that the ONE was made whole and the others were cleansed. I beleive that the "one" that it mentions was restored in his home and his community, as well as his flesh, while the others were simply healed for a season. All that you can receive from God is tied to your thanks for the little things that you have! We are entering the season of thanks, are you?
God bless you
