Matthew 8:14-15, The Cure of Peter’s Mother-in-Law

Jesus saw someone in need and helped them. Do we do the same? The woman Jesus helped showed her appreciation by serving him. God does so much for us every day. From the air we breathe to the food we eat. Even our pain and suffering is a gift as it reminds us of our dependence on God and can bring us closer to him. We may not be able to return our gratitude directly to God as this woman did, but we can do so through others. 

Lord, help me to show you my appreciation for your blessings by serving others.
