Lesson:
Tell the following story.
Jesus went to a small town, where He saw ten lepers. These men had sores all over their bodies. Doctors could not help the lepers, and other people were afraid to go near them. The other people thought that they would get sick, too. The lepers asked Jesus to heal them. They knew that He could make their sores go away. Jesus wanted them to be well. He told them to go to the priests, so they did. On their way to the priests, the ten lepers were healed. Their sores were gone. Jesus had healed them.
(show GAK 221:The Ten Lepers)
Knowing that Jesus had healed them, one of the lepers went back to thank Jesus. Jesus asked where the other nine lepers were. They had not come back to thank Him. He told the leper who had thanked Him that his faith had made him well.
• Why did this man come back to Jesus?
• What did the other men do?
Jesus Christ healed all ten lepers, but only one remembered to thank him. Jesus must have been happy that one person remembered, but sad that the others did not. It is important to always be thankful and to say Thank You to those who help us.
• Whom else should we thank? (Our families, teachers, friends, anyone who does something kind for us.)
THANK YOU is sometimes called a "magic word". That's because it makes people feel good. When we say thank you to others we are acting like the Savior taught us. We make others want to continue to do good and our hearts become more thankful.
Bear your testimony about how good you feel when you are thanked for your efforts. Share how an attitude of gratitude brings you closer to Heavenly Father.

I can't thank you enough for doing such an AMAZING service for us! These lessons are SUCH a blessing and I'm so grateful to you! Jill
It's so hard for me to figure out a good FHE lesson that can entertain my preschoolers - something simple, yet meaningful. But I've used 2 of your lessons so far, and they were a huge success! They bring up the lessons later in the week - which they never did with any of the FHEs I've tried to prepare myself.
Thank you so much!
