GIVE THANKS

Aloha and Happy, Happy Thanksgiving everyone.  We all have so much to be thankful for, each and every one of us are so very blessed.

Being that today, Thanksgiving Day, is a day we should be thankful, I wanted to put in perspective of how we live our lives...... it is in the New Testament in the book of  Luke we find 10 lepers that approach Jesus to be healed.  He heals all 10 but only 1 returns to give thanks.

“One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, “Praise God!” He fell to the ground at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done. This man was a Samaritan.”  Luke‬ ‭17:15-16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

If you follow the teachings of the Bible, you know that Jews did not interact with the people of Samaria, as the story about Jesus and the woman at the well comes to mind.  ( John 4)

Sometimes it takes a stranger, someone that we don't even like to example to us how we should behave.  In this passage, it was a Samaritan leper who was so grateful to Jesus for healing him from leprosy.

We need to be like the Samaritan and SHOUT... THANK YOU JESUS... for all HE has done, is doing and will continue to do in our lives.  

Blessings to you and your ohana always ~ Rev Bu
