On the way to Jerusalem Jesus and his disciples came through the border between Galilee and Samaria. In one village they encountered ten lepers. The required distance they stopped and shouted: "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" He looked at her and told her: "Go to the priests, and shows them that you are healed!"
On the way they were healthy. One of them ran back to Jesus when he realized he was healed. Aloud, he praised God. He threw himself down before Jesus and thanked him. It was a Samaritan.
Jesus asked, "Did I not healed ten men where are the other nine Why only one comes back, even to a stranger in order to thank God?" At the Samaritan but he said, "Get back on your faith has made you well." (Luke 17.11-19)
time a question
"Since when can not thank you?"
Maybe the other 9 colleagues are so easily taken for granted that Jesus heals - n is still a nice guy, he can make, will you?
Maybe they have not really understood what there happening with them and what that means for them.
Maybe they got also not that really about it - which sounds in the face of certain death rather unlikely.
Maybe they are also just so happy about their healing, that they have forgotten all about decency and all the etiquette.
Maybe they simply have nothing but one of Knigge
;-) Anyway, if you read the story, we think of "How rude! Had at least once can say thank you. but the least is "
And it's true, too: Thanks Saying is important!
We show the person who for some done us that we do not take for granted and that we find valuable, what he has done for us. But ...
... are we much better than the 9 co-workers?
Every day, every minute, every moment is God in our lives.
We note that often, and usually it is us only become aware in retrospect, but God is constantly in our lives. And if we want to stay once and view our lives and what happens to us, we see it is - why ... sometimes ;-)

The task:
you Leg a piece of paper and a pen beside your bed.
Think you each evening in front of Sleeping:
"What happened today is everything, what can I
be grateful?"
write everything with each other on a list.
(is interesting to see how this list looks like after a week!)
Then tell God just in prayer, "Thank you" for everything,
what you on this day are grateful.
