Read Luke 17:11-19 with your family.

This is the story of ten people being made healthy, but only one of the ten returning to tell Jesus “thank you”.

Are we supposed to believe only one of them was grateful to Jesus for making them well? I do not think so. But I do think only one of them stopped for a minute and realized he forgot to do the gracious thing of giving thanks.

Every child has been reminded to say “thank you”. But no one reminds adults. Adults have to remember on their own. This man did.

Just because people did not say thank you does not mean they did not feel it, but it was still something Jesus wanted to hear.

Jesus told the man his faith had made him well. The faith of the other nine made them well also, but they never got to have the experience of Jesus telling them that was what happened, because they were too focused on something else.
