I love the story of Ruth and Naomi because Ruth was faithful to her mother-in-law and in doing so became faithful to God. When I taught single's Sunday School I used to tell the young women to wait for their Boaz and not to settle for anything less. Ruth followed God and He gave her a kinsman redeemer. A beautiful story.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see the children realizing that WHATEVER they are doing and if they are happy or sad, God is always with them!
