Gratitude and Healing

Welcome to Day 17 of Journey to the Manger! In Luke 17, we reflect on the story of the ten lepers who were healed by Jesus, but only one returned to give thanks. This powerful moment reminds us to live with gratitude for God’s blessings. Join us as we reflect on the healing and hope Jesus brings this Christmas season.
