Ruth was one of the greatest examples of faithful loyalty to the God of Abraham. She left everything she knew, when widowed. And followed God's promptings to with her mother-in-law to her homeland, a land strange to Ruth...where her faith would flourish. Excellent reminder in this fibonacci. I am enjoying your work, this morning. Smiles, Dane Ann

There was a great message of truth, in the faithfulness of Ruth. She had a great sense of duty to do honor to her mother-in-law. That would not set well with the western world today. Smile. Sincerely, Moses

Ancestor huh. I swear Jesus Christ is such an interest to me. Like when his soul was actually on Earth. I believe that he has a soul like human beings, but the fact that he is God's son, I believe he only lived once back then, for a purpose. And everything he said & did, it interests me a lot. This theory comes from my mind& self thoughts.sorry if it upsets you.I don't know if it will.just making sure. -Always Lynette

Footnote on the story. The rest of the story is in the "Bible" in the book of Ruth. Sara
