Gratitude Lk 17,11-19

Warn believers that “ordinary gifts” are not “ordinary.”
If we ever really needed a thing, and it came to us, we certainly are
very grateful for her. It is natural for an average person to be able to thank you for gifts. Imagine a person who has been worried for a long time because he has pain and doctors can’t help him. Will, he is not grateful to the one who will help him ?! It seems so obvious, and yet we see that it is not always so.

In the Gospels, we heard about the gift of Jesus to the ten lepers. She bothered them a lot with the insidious disease. They could not live with their peers and had to stay outside towns and villages not to infect anyone. They heard about Jesus and waited for him. They hoped it would help them. That’s how it happened. We would expect them to heal, the first reaction will be an expression of gratitude to Jesus. However, we see that not everyone is, they mentioned him. Only one, and that was the Samaritan. This image is not just a thing of the past. Today we could talk about several similar situations in our lives. Except for the many gifts that we get, they seem kind of obvious. If we get something without our merit, it is a gift for which you must thank. Have we never received any contribution to make we didn’t have to thank anyone ?! We’re not just thinking about the fantastic things that happen, they can get us. After all, every good, every minute of life, is a gift from God for us. We receive a lot of good from God through our neighbors, primarily through our parents.

It is, therefore, necessary to thank both God and the people. Our gratitude should be seen. Let’s turn a grateful mind into words and deeds that express our attitude toward God and our neighbors. A natural, genuine expression of gratitude must show in life. Piere Lefevre mentions one instructive event. In the radio competition, there was such a question: “Which is the most beautiful sentence a woman can hear the first prize at all?” After a long decision, a young woman won the first prize. “The most beautiful sentence, “she said,” what a woman can hear at all is when a child cries at three in the morning and the husband says, “Stay down, I’m leaving.”

The wife felt her husband’s gratitude in the story. He knew how to appreciate her work; he was grateful for her and turned it into a concrete deed. If he just talked about how demanding her job is and how it has affected her, it would, it was not enough. Let us also learn to act so that our surroundings know that we are grateful to them for what they do for us. Let’s appreciate the gifts, and thank you for them. At the same time, let’s realize that a gift is a smile, a good word, a prepared breakfast, and many other minor things.
