"Thanksgiving Run A-fowl" - Luke 17:11-19 - (November 23, 2022 - Thanksgiving Eve)

<p>It's time to give thanks, again. &nbsp;Normal statements are, "What are you thank for?" or simply, "I am thankful." &nbsp;Society has all but forgotten that to give thanks needs an object. &nbsp;We don't give ourselves "thanks." &nbsp;We give it to someone else. &nbsp;So, the question is, "TO WHOM DO YOU GIVE THANKS." &nbsp;Luck? Your own hard work? &nbsp;Also, we normally give thanks for "things" we have - (do you ever give thanks for "bad things you have?). &nbsp;Our story of the 10 lepers whom Jesus healed and only one returns fits nicely with our theme of "give thanks..." - but in a wrong way. &nbsp;Why was did this Samaritan leper thank Jesus? &nbsp;Why should you as well?</p>
