There are times when circumstances all seem to be impossible. Sometimes it feels
like we are in a place where no one will help us. We can always go to someone to
ask for help and his name is Jesus. The ten lepers were probably scary to look at
with all the wounds he had. Jesus was not scared of them and healed them. One
of the lepers came back to Jesus to thank him even before going to the priest. In
the olden times, a priest is the only person who will say if a leper was healed.
When a priest declares this, it will mean that the former leper can now live with the
people in the city. e was no longer contagious. Jesus changed all their lives but
only one had a good attitude to say thank you.
!. ow many of you said a prayer of thanks to Jesus for the gifts they have
received even before they started playing with their toys" #varied answer$
