The three Rs of faith

 And they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. (Luke 24:8-9 ESV)
Most of us old enough to remember when Math was Arithmetic recall the three Rs of school - reading, wRiting and aRithmetic.  These women had three Rs in their faith journey that resurrection morning. First, they did Remember what Jesus had said. His word came back to them. Then they Returned to where they were to be - praying together. Finally, they Reported what they had remembered, seen and heard, and what that meant - He is risen indeed, just as He said.  We need to do the same thing when life startles us: remember what God has said, return to where we need in prayer and fellowship with Him, and share with others what God has taught us, to help each other in our faith journey.
