I wanted to remind everyone that thankfulness is directly proportional to prosperity. Thankful people are typically more prosperous because their appreciation for the source of things allows them to comprehend how blessings come.
Remember the story of the 10 lepers?
Luke 17:11-17
11Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance 13and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!" 14When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed. 15One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. 17Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" 19Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well."
The leper who returned to give thanks received not just a physical healing but his thankfulness showed that his soul had been healed of sin by the cleansing power of Jesus.
