Latin (tem-pu̇s-ˈfü-git): Time Flies
I’m happy to be Yours. That closing sentence really resonated with me this morning during devotions when this prayer came up from the list.
Thank you
I’m grateful
Jesus, thank You for Your life on earth—for the time You spent teaching us, loving us, and suffering on our behalf. I’m grateful You made a way for us to have an eternal relationship with You. You are my everything—I’m happy to be Yours. Amen.
An opportunity to receive more.

As the one leper came back to thank Jesus for what He’d done, Jesus told him that his faith had made him “well.” The word “well” translated here is the Greek word “sozo.” It’s a different word used than the word translated “cleansed” in verse 17. Sozo means, saved, forgiven and whole. That means the one who came back to express gratitude received something none of the others did. All ten were healed, but only one was made whole. The truth is, showing gratitude isn’t an obligation, it’s an opportunity. It’s not about what it does for the other person, it’s what it does in your own heart and how it changes you.
A while back I decided to make an effort to be more thankful. And to that end I started a list on the iPhone Reminders app and I get a daily prompt to put something on the “Thankful” list. Now not every day gets and entry but most do. Another facet of this initiative is to monthly review the list to remind me of all the things I’m thankful for.
As a part of this month’s review I thought that once in a while I’d share one of these “Thankful” items on the blog. First up is this one.
Easton is my Grandson and this phone call was quite out of the blue and I don’t normally get any phone calls for the Grandkids so this was kind of special. The tree fort is at the lake and for me this meant he was thinking of good times at the lake and planning for more good times in the future. ?
