Gratitude

Gratitude is the one thing you can hear a lot about, for example, who and who isn't being grateful or people saying thank you, and expressing appreciation. It's amazing how many people forget to say thank you these days, and it's even more amazing how many people discard the thanks of others just because the 'thank you' didn't take the form they wanted it to take.

Just another thought brought on by today's ODB reading :) The Bible reading is actually one of my favourites:

Luke 17:11-19 (NIV)
Ten Healed of Leprosy
Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[a]met him. They stood at a distance 13and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"

When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.

One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.

Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well."
