You know I have always really liked reading the book of Ruth. It is short and to the point. I wonder what I would have done if I had been in her shoes. I have to work on pride and self sufficiency and Ruth seems so mild mannered and trusting.
My margin notes read as follows...
should they have left 1:6
Ruth must have recognized God in Naomi 1:15
did she (Naomi) look different? worse, older...out of God's protection 1:20 (bitter)
Boaz says to Ruth...listen, stay, watch, follow, drink 2:8
"Kathy" beside "My daughter" 2:8
remind the Lord who I am, ask Him to spread the corner of His garment over me, since He is my kinsman- redeemer 3:9
marked through Ruth and wrote "Kathy" in 3:9
wrote Jesus beside kinsman-redeemer 3:12
circled Rachel and Leah 4:11
circled Tamar 4:12
Ruth is only part of the bigger plan 4:12
circled "seven" sons 4:15
selflessness = rest

ReplyDeletethanks...you too Susan!!
DeleteI love the book of Psalms myself. My Bible is full of notes and is falling apart, I like to remember that is precisely why my life isn't! Great post today, Kathryn!
ReplyDeletemine is too...I tried to help the binding our with tape, but it is still a mess...I just keep it in my Bible case....NIV
DeleteI like Ruth very much. I have mostly been Bible reading on my Kindle lately but I am realizing that even though it is convenient, I miss the note taking part.
ReplyDeleteI love the book of Ruth also. What you wrote makes me want to read the story again. Enjoyed your post. One of my all time favorite books is Philippians.
