Thanksgiving

Psalm 50:14
Offer to God thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High.

How often we petition God and promise if you will answer this prayer for me I'll be thankful or I'll _________fill in the blank! In the New Testament we have the story of 10 lepers who came to Jesus and he healed them. He told them to go and show themselves to the priest and as they went they were healed. You would think that they would have turned around and came back singing and dancing and shouting their thanks but ONLY ONE returned to offer thanks! Jesus wondered where the other 9 were and why they didn't come back too. Maybe we have some catching up to do - some thanking for answers we have forgotten or taken for granted. Now is a good time to start recalling those blessing and start giving THANKS! 

Happy Thanksgiving!
