are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Psalm 100:1-5
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and
praise his name.5 For the Lord is good and

Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance 13 and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!" When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.
LUKE 17:11-18
15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him — and he was a Samaritan. 17 Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18 Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?"
LUKE 17:11-18

UNGRATEFULNESS:
MATERIAL AND
FINANCIAL
RELATIONAL
CIRCUMSTANTIAL
Let us cultivate
an attitude of
gratitude…
DECIDE TO TURN
BLESSINGS INTO PRAISE
EVERY BLESSING YOU POUR OUT I’LL
TURN BACK TO
PRAISE.
EVERY BLESSING
I DON’T TURN BACK TO PRAISE
TURNS INTO PRIDE.
…I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know
what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to
have plenty. I have learned the secret of
being content in any and every situation… I can do everything through him who gives me strength
PHILIPPIANS 4:11-13
Better what the eye sees than the
roving of the appetite.

…the cheerful heart has a
continual feast. Better a little with
the fear of the LORD than great
wealth with turmoil.

Don’t just feel,
gratitude express
it.
Better one handful with
tranquility than two handfuls with toil and
chasing after the wind.

Every good and perfect gift is from above…

Gratitude makes poor people rich.
Ungratefulness makes
rich people poor.
