Thank God For What You Do Have

“When He saw them, He said to them, Go and show yourselves to the priests. And as they were going, they were cleansed. Now one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice, and he fell on his face at His feet, GIVING THANKS TO HIM. And he was a Samaritan. But Jesus responded and said, Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine – where are they? Was no one found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner? And He said to him, Stand up and go; your faith has made you well." Luke 17:11-19 (NASB)
