Luke 17: 11-19
Jesus Heals Ten Men With Leprosy
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 Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”
May this glorious sunrise fill you with awe, and gratitude as we reflect on this wonder of nature and the loving, generous heart of Jesus, the Healer. May we not ever be among the nine, but always with the one who returned to acknowledge the great gift he received and give thanks for it. This is not Thanksgiving Day, but Veterans Day...somehow linked by gratitude. As we remember our deceased warriors, may we also give thanks to God for their beautiful lives and the beauty of Nature which embraces us every day.
