Ruth 3

So I have to admit that I was confused by this chapter upon first reading it. It seemed to me to have sexual connotations to it. After all she is sleeping at his feet and she asks him to cover him with his garment. And it goes on to say that Boaz is appreciative that she came to him and not to the younger men. But then Boaz talks about redeeming and waiting until morning to see if he wants to redeem.??

It probably gets explained in the next chapter. I think I remember that Ruth marries Boaz? I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

The theme of community and family runs through this chapter which is quite interesting as our church is going through a time of growing right now. Matthew talked about the 3 C's. One major one that we need to work on is community. I think that this goes for everyone in the congregation. We all need some help building up our community and feeling again like we are all on the same team. At times it feels like it is two teams with different goals. I do believe that we all want the same thing, to work for God's glory, but we just don't know how to do it together yet.

Pray that we can work together and that God will work within and through us. God is working through our kids, we need to open ourselves up like they do. We need to get excited about our faith and life it out loudly!!!!!!!
