Hello readers, and happy Ocotber 28! Today is my grandmother's birthday. Grandmothers are wonderful. In honor of my nana's birthday, I'm going to talk about a very special grandmother. Our grandmother today is actually a great-grandmother, but that's not important. Our special grandmother today is.....Ruth! Ruth has her own book in the Bible. You can check it out here.
Ruth was loyal to her mother-in-law when her husband and her father-in-law died. While her sister-in-law left Naomi, Ruth's mother-in-law, Ruth stayed with her. Ruth's story goes along as her and Naomi travel to a distant relative of Naomi's. The story goes on about Ruth's dedication and hard work. Eventually, Ruth marries Boaz, Naomi's wealthy distant relative. Then they had a son, Obed. Later, Obed had a son, Jesse. Later Jesse had 8 sons. One of his sons was none other then....David. So, Ruth, a woman who feared the Lord, was David's great-grandmother.
Happy Birthday Nana!
