Kindness to Ruth

2And Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Let me go to the fields and pick up the leftover grain behind anyone in whose eyes I find favor.”

Naomi said to her, “Go ahead, my daughter.” 3So she went out, entered a field and began to glean behind the harvesters. As it turned out, she was working in a field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelek...

8So Boaz said to Ruth, “My daughter, listen to me. Don’t go and glean in another field and don’t go away from here. Stay here with the women who work for me. 9Watch the field where the men are harvesting, and follow along after the women. I have told the men not to lay a hand on you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get a drink from the water jars the men have filled.”

Thoughts: The Lord blessed Boaz and he passed that blessing on to Ruth who  passed the blessing onto Naomi.  Ruth was willing to go out and do the most menial work- gleaning leftover from from he fields.  Boaz heard of Ruth's kindness and sought to bless her.  When we are kind, the word spreads.  Let us seek to serve and be kind to those in need. 

Prayer: Lord, thank you for your kindness to me given through others.
