When they have finished talking, they move on, but suddenly they discover that Jesus has healed them! Everyone cheers with relief and happily continues on their way. But then one of them stops and goes back to thank Jesus. Everyone was happy that they had gotten better, but only one remembered to say thank you, and he was the happiest of all! Jesus was also happy, because the man realized that it was God who had made him well. He glorified God and was then able to help other people.

You can also think about why you feel happy and grateful when others do good for you, and how you can do the same for others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\">Most of all, we can thank God and Jesus for loving us and looking after us and teaching us to be good and kind.
