sharing

"They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem.  There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together"  (Luke 24:33 NIV)

When you get excited about something when do you share about it?  Who do you share it with?  Family? Friends?  Whoever happens to be near you - which, of course, means you are in a group when it happens?  How do you share it?  I've been known to say, in a loud, clear voice, "Praise God!"  It might even be a "Praise God from whom all blessings flow!"  I also have a tendency to talk really fast if I'm excited about something....then I usually have to slow down and repeat it.

This reading is the "end" of the two Disciples walking to Emmaus.  They have recognized the risen Christ in the breaking of the bread.  They "got up and returned at once" to share with the Disciples in Jerusalem.  Some translations say "immediately."  Either way they were so excited they wanted to share NOW.

So.......when we have felt God's presence, when we have seen God working....when, how and to whom are we sharing?  How soon are we sharing?  Something to think about.........
