NOWHERE By Jay Thornell

Too busy to give thanks? Ever found yourself rushing through life without giving thought to how blessed you are? Who has time to stop and count his blessings?

When Jesus healed ten lepers their first thoughts raced to the future – going home and reentering society. Captivated by what was to come, nine of them failed to give thanks for what had already happened. Isn’t this just like us? So focused on the future we fail to live in and appreciate the present.

Remember the word “nowhere” and break it down into two words. NOW and HERE. If we did a better job of living in the “here” and “now” we could also do a better job of counting our blessings. We might even be able to name them one by one.

One leper took a deep breathe and lived in the moment. Doing so, he retraced his steps and praised God in a loud voice until he located Jesus again. Once there the Bible says, “He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him.” (Luke 17:16) This leper was living in the here and now. It seems like a nice place to spend some time. Let’s join him this week!
