Ruth

I
Esther and Ruth
In God's Truth
The Bibles 66
Women author lacks
But these two
Esther and Ruth
But what Truth
About Savior-Redeemer

II
Boaz, Kinsman-Redeemer
Honored Great Provider
Hebrews left corners
Part harvest behind
As reapers wind
Their way, labor
No one beggar
Bible provided this
Ruth came: blessed
Boaz wed Ruth
Lineage: Obed, Jesse,
David through Jesus
Began with grain
Communion yet again!

Scripture, RUTH 2: 10
"Ruth fell at Boaz feet and thanked him warmly. 'What have I done to deserve such kindness?' she asked. 'I am only a foreigner.'" 

Commentary/ Application: in Old Testament the kinsman can redeem a slave by paying if he has a family connection, per Hebrew law & custom. Jesus is the ultimate Kinsman-Redeemer, hallelujah. In USA, the kind acts of so many citizens to foreigners have blessed America again & again. I found kindness in Greece & UK, but USA excels in aiding 'aliens'. God bless America & all of us. Amen & amein

Anil Deo March 5, 2022 at 10:46 AM Amen Michelle F. & Joe D. You may have had this experience: traveling is fun, but American conveniences, sanitation, ease of access to good water, even restrooms ... Make Americans so glad to be in the Land of The Free. USA has a right to feel it achieved a high standard for most of its citizens, even in small towns. PTL

Michelle Faulkner March 5, 2022 at 8:40 AM This is so meaningful about taking in foreigners in their time of need, especially with so many refugees from Ukraine now, a lesson for all to remember~ also that 'ruth' means mercy -
