Ruth 4

“LORD, you have blessed me beyond measure.  I was a foreigner in your land and you showed me kindness and grace.  You brought me to my redeemer, and he gave me a son.  Who knows what you have planned for my Obed and his descendants?  I think about that old shoe – that sandal that a man took off and gave to Boaz, as a sign that he could marry me.  What a blessed day that was!  What a symbol of hope and faithfulness that old shoe turned out to be.  You did not abandon me. You have ben faithful.”  — Ruth
