Verses: 

• Luke 17:11-19 - The story of the ten lepers and the one who returned to give thanks.... Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”
• Psalm 69:30 – "I will praise God’s name with singing, and I will honor Him with thanksgiving."
• Colossians 2:6-7 – "Let your roots grow down into Him... Then your faith will grow strong... and you will overflow with thankfulness."
• Luke 10:38-42 - As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
