The one leper who returned to thank Jesus for his miraculous healing stands as a visible reminder of what Thanksgiving Day is all about. We enjoy so much by way of faith, family, comfortable homes, multiple gadgets, and freedoms that most other countries only dream about, it is absolutely fitting and right that we should take a moment, if not the day, to render thanks to the Giver of all good gifts. Nine of those cured continued on their merry way, as most of us do even after having our prayers answered, yet God continues to give. As we say grace before our meal today, let us acknowledge our 364 days of ingratitude and give God the thanks which should be a part of our daily prayers. The gratitude expressed by those who received turkeys and food baskets as a result of the Lazarus House Thanksgiving deliveries and the meals they will serve today shows us what appreciation can be. Let us learn from the poor and strive to become poor in spirit ourselves.
