Ruth and Naomi

God must have known I needed tomorrow's Thursday evening free in preparation for Friday night's Valentine's Event. As I was reading through the book of Ruth, my adult student from the public library adult literacy program called me. She said she went to the dentist today and the dentist said she'll have to come in tomorrow night to get her fillings done.

I am amazed. I was actually thinking about how to get some of the last minute purchases done before Friday night. Enough said.

I read over the book of Ruth tonight because after these 3 nights with just my mother-in-law and myself I am reminded of the story of Naomi and Ruth. (Not to say we lost our husbands to Panama for 2.5 weeks but just the fact that we are two women living together without our men).


Alas, Ruth is deemed as a woman with noble character. I can only strive to be somewhat like her.
