I never tire of reading Ruth's story. So romantic! So much to glean. And very neat that she is the great-grandmother of David.

I've read this book more times between 2016 and 2018, but I didn't mark it every time.
This morning, I felt like visiting an old friend. So I reread Ruth. I needed the encouragement of her story today, as I'm diving into edits of a story. It can be overwhelming, kind of like Ruth's journey into a land she didn't know and gleaning a field in which she wasn't sure if she'd be molested. Yet, I've got writing buddies who come alongside and help keep me pushing forward, just as Boaz told Ruth he'd asked his servants to treat her well and provide easy gleaning for her. So, so many good things in this four-chapter book. So applicable to many, many aspects of life.
