Friday May 24th 2024 Re cap of thoughts on Ruth through a compilation of our comments during the LIVE Chats.

These comments stand as a Testimony on growth in our group, not just in numbers but in depth of study and life.

I remember my Papa used to say….”What is in the well of our hearts, comes out the bucket of our mouths.”

The question was asked…Is God involved in the details of our daily life?

Answer: A resounding YES

Below are the Comments along with the names of those brave and courage souls who are willing to dive in and contribute to the conversation and share their hearts. Thank you one and all. If you weren’t on this list, you might show up on the next one.

I have learned so much! Thank you. Along with many others who shared similar.

The point wasn't owning women but to redeem a widow. Taking care of widows and orphans.

Boaz redeemed Ruth .....Jesus redeemed us. Boom. Love story

God: "My covenant is I will be your God and you will be my people. Ruth: Your God will be my God.”

The Kinsman Redeemer is another allegory of Jesus redeeming us.

Martha and several others

Ruth has been grafted in! And Boaz is a type & shadow of the Lord Jesus Christ

That part about the feet was a strange thing

Moni

By laying at Boaz’s feet she proposed to him

Delanie Bee

It was culturally acceptable

Phoebe Long

Go talk to Boaz....he is a good guy. He has a job, etc. Ruth...you could do so much worse. Find yourself a nice boy

This is NO hallmark of biblical accounts

The gentile bride, Ruth gave Naomi a child which gave Naomi the right to get her inheritance back.

However , there was nothing immoral about this act but an accepted practice of the day. I don't like to think of it being in any way wrong.

We see this now but back then, there wasn't a David or declared lineage of the Messiah. Keep this in mind as our lives unfold. God is doing things with us that we don't see YET.

Hollywood buries the significance of Bible truth in a pile of “chick-flick."

God's love and care for his people

A picture of Christ being our Great Redeemer.

And if the widow had no son the new husband would beget a son for his brother's sake.

Judy Sulak

Ruth was respectful and in so she was treated with respect

Words are cheap actions are important

He was an honorable man.

So, keeping it all in the family.

She, RUTH,  didn't take things for granted.

Just need a sandal to seal the deal

That Joke was "wheat"

Delanie Bee

My wheat jokes are all chaff...
