One in Ten - or Status Quo?

Ten lepers healed, one turned back to give thanks.  When Jesus asked where the other had gone, I have this picture in my head of word getting back to the nine, and each of them turning to their family and friends and saying, "well, nobody else was doing it?!"  

God's grace is for everybody.  God's love is for everybody.  God's forgiveness and healing are for everybody. Whether to live in gratitude, well, that's a choice.  And the choice does make a difference in our lives and in our relationship to the living God.
