Say Thank You

📖 Bible Verse:
“One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, ‘Praise God!’” — Luke 17:15

🕊️ Story / Reflection
Jesus once healed ten men who were very sick. They all walked away happy and healthy. But only one of them came back to say, “Thank You, Jesus!”Jesus noticed the thankfulness of that one man. 

Gratitude is powerful—it shows that we remember what God has done and appreciate the people He uses to bless us.

Every day, God gives us good things: family, food, friends, strength, and joy. Saying “thank You” is a simple but beautiful way to honour Him. Grateful hearts make God smile.

Thankfulness matters to God. When you remember His goodness and say “thank You,” you show a grateful heart that honours Him

💡 Lesson:
A thankful heart pleases God. I should always remember to say “thank You.”

🙏 Prayer
Dear Jesus,
Thank You for all the blessings You give me every day.
Help me not to forget Your goodness.
Teach me to say “thank You” to You and to others.
Amen.
