" ...11. Boaz replied to her, "All that you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband has been fully reported to me, and how you left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and came to a people that you did not previously know. 12. "May the LORD reward your work, and your wages be full from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to seek refuge." 13. Then she said, "I have found favor in your sight, my lord, for you have comforted me and indeed have spoken kindly to your maidservant, though I am not like one of your maidservants." 14. At mealtime Boaz said to her, "Come here, that you may eat of the bread and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar." So she sat beside the reapers; and he served her roasted grain, and she ate and was satisfied and had some left. 15. When she rose to glean, Boaz commanded his servants, saying, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not insult her. 16. "Also you shall purposely pull out for her some grain from the bundles and leave it that she may glean, and do not rebuke her." 17. So she gleaned in the field until evening.

Ruth's modesty, humility, and gentleness is so evident all through this Book!
Perhaps that is why I love this Book of the Bible so very much.

Thank You for Your Prayers, Geologist!
