All for me

Lord Jesus, I thank You for everything.  The image I have in my head on how Our Family started is beautiful.  Father God  created a magnificent world, the huge sun, the vast ocean, all the beautiful animals and flowers and plants.  He molded some soil in His own form and breathed on it.  Then I leapt in the world and wandered.   The face of the tiny bat I stared at, the great whale I watched, the sound of the little children, everything is so nice.  The memory of my dad picking me up from my fall, the letter of my friend this morning, the cookies my family enjoy, the future, the end, the beginning.  When I find You even in the smallest of joy, I find contentment, lightness and deep glee.   How can I ever thank You enough? Thank You Lord, My God, I love you with all my heart.

Luke 17:11-19

As Jesus entered one of the villages, ten lepers came to meet him.  They stood some way off and called to Him, "Jesus! Master!  Take pity on us."  When He saw them He said "Go and show yourselves to the priests"  Now as they were going away they were cleansed.  Finding himself cured, one of them turned back praising God at the top of his voice and threw himself at the feet of Jesus and thanked Him.  This made Jesus say, "Were not all ten made clean?  The other nine, where are they? Rise and go, your faith has saved you."
