Gratitude
On the way to Jerusalem
Jesus was going through the region between Samaria and Galilee. As he entered a
village, ten lepers approached him. Keeping their distance, they called out,
saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" When he saw them, he said to them,
"Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were made clean.
Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with
a loud voice. He prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. And he was a
Samaritan. Then Jesus asked, "Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where
are they? Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this
foreigner?" Then he said to him, "Get up and go on your way; your faith has made
you well."
Luke 17:11-19

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought;
and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.
