Welcome to day 17 of Blogmas themed The Essence of Christmas.
We have been unwrapping the lessons from the pages of books written by Dr. Luke to Governor Theophilus, a day, a page.
Today, let us turn our Bible to Luke chapter 17 and see gratitude as it’s befitting us throughout the season;
[11] While traveling to Jerusalem, He passed between Samaria and Galilee. [12] As He entered a village, 10 men with serious skin diseases met Him. They stood at a distance [13] and raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us! ” [14] When He saw them, He told them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And while they were going, they were healed. [15] But one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned and, with a loud voice, gave glory to God. [16] He fell facedown at His feet, thanking Him. And he was a Samaritan. [17] Then Jesus said, “Were not 10 cleansed? Where are the nine? [18] Didn’t any return to give glory to God except this foreigner? ” [19] And He told him, “Get up and go on your way. Your faith has made you well.”
Luke 17:11-19 HCSB
Jesus want us to be appreciative of what He has done for us and He want you to show gratitude to those who has done one good thing or another to you this year.
Pick that phone and dial that number now to say thank you.
Chat that stranger that stop to show concern when you tires bust in the middle of nowhere to say thank you.

Don’t forget your spouse, your in-laws, pastor, children, neighbors, etc.
Once again, Christmas is Gratitude.
