Ruth

I love my mother-in-law, I admire her way of life, I look at her God in awe, Who’s led her through deaths and strife, I followed her to her land, Leaving my people behind, My God had great blessings planned, Family love, I did find, Though I am a Moabite, In the lineage of Christ, I’ve found a place, such delight! God’s Grace and Love have sufficed.

Beautiful musings on the character of Ruth, made all the more personal written in the first person. Her faithfulness to Naomi and faith in God were exemplary. I love reading poetry about biblical narratives! Congratulations for POTW, dear Jo.
