Saying “Thank you” has transformative power. Intentional thankfulness bridges gaps between individuals. When Jesus heals ten lepers only one, a Samaritan, returns to express gratitude. This act of gratitude closes the gap between the healed man and Jesus, forming a deeper connection. Conversely, the lack of gratitude widens the gap between Jesus and the other nine. We need to reflect on the year 2023 and intentionally express thanks to those who played a role in our lives. It is important to verbalize gratitude in order to foster deeper connections. As the year turns, prioritize relationships, say "Thank you", and seek closer connections, both within and outside your community.
