“Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to
God?” (Luke 17:18) Most of us live “easy” lives. We
have food, shelter and clothing. We go on vacation
every year and own a car or two. Most of us take this
all for granted. Did you ever notice that people with the
least amount of possessions are usually the most
grateful? Shouldn’t this be the other way
around? Take time every day and thank God for all He
has given you.

"Nadie más que este extranjero ha regresado
para dar gracias a Dios?" (Lucas 17:18) La
mayoría de nosotros vivimos vidas "fáciles".
Tenemos comida, refugio y ropa. Nos vamos de
vacaciones todos los años y somos dueños de
uno o dos autos. La mayoría de nosotros damos
todo esto por hecho. ¿Has notado que las personas con la menor cantidad de posesiones son
generalmente las más agradecidas? ¿No debería
ser al revés? Tómate tiempo cada día y agradece
a Dios por todo lo que te ha dado.
