As I read through Ruth, I was blown away by how many good characteristics she displays. She was hardworking, generous, obedient, morally pure--just to name a few. But the thing that really stuck out to me was her grateful heart despite some horrible circumstances.
It's easy for us to read Ruth's story today and not fully grasp how difficult the situation was for her and Naomi. So don't miss that. Don't skim over how dire Naomi and Ruth's situation was. Yet in the middle of having no money, no food, no male support system and no real family (see what I mean about dire circumstances) Ruth never caved. She remained grateful and displayed it to all those around her.
Well that's what spoke to me as I read Ruth. So what characteristic of Ruth jumped out at you? Let me know. Just click on the Comment link above. I'd love it if I heard from you. Tami W.
