Gratitude | Julie Pederson

A heart of gratitude turns us toward God, who is the giver of good gifts.
This is seen in an account of ten healed lepers. One - a Samaritan - literally turns towards Jesus as he returns to thank his healer for the gift of being healed. The Samaritan does so with abandon; “He threw himself at Jesus’ feet” (NIV). This account serves as inspiration for not only how one can express thankfulness, but also when we can express gratitude to God. There’s something important about thanking God for his good gifts in the moment.
