There were ten. A common number, but they were anything but common. These ten were sick, seriously sick! So sick they could not even communicate face to face with those they loved. They needed physical and medical help. Short of a miracle their lives as they had known them was over. (Luke 7:11-19)
Their sickness was leprosy. Their miracle was Jesus. Their problem was lack of thankfulness. Perhaps they were just too eager to see their loved ones and to share their miracle of healing. We really don’t know. What we do know is they left. They did not pause to speak to the One who had provided their healing. They just left, and I oftentimes wonder if they left more than their leprosy behind. One did stay behind though. We don’t know his name, but we do know his heart. Maybe he was in awe of the Miracle Maker. We are really not sure, we just know he stayed while the others walked or rather ran away. It doesn’t take long to say thank you. But it does take a thankful heart. In your devotional time today, pause for a moment and enumerate some of the things you are thankful for. Then stick around for a while and say thank you! Maybe, just maybe, Jesus would like to do something unexpected for you! One thing we know for sure. The unexpected blessings do not always occur instantly. Those deeper unexpected gifts come from spending time with the Gift Giver! Thankful, Pastor Holmes
