THANKFULNESS



A well-known Christian in a small town in Scotland was afflicted with nasal catarrh. Dr. Adams of Hamilton, Lanarkshire, a nose, throat & ear specialist, operated on him, and the operation gave him the relief he wanted.

He was so helped that he sat down, after he had paid the doctor's fee & wrote a letter of thanks.

In a day or two he received a reply from the surgeon saying he was going to keep the letter among his prized papers, as it was the first letter of thanks he had ever received.

Luke 17:15- 17 (WEB): One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.  He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.  Jesus answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?”

“The beginning of men's rebellion against God was, and is, the lack of a thankful heart.” -  Francis Schaeffer.
