I love the story of Ruth in the Bible. Since I was a little girl, I felt the love in this story and I wanted to be Ruth! My daughter in law posted an additional thought about this picture as explained by Joseph Prince. It is: ” Boaz, Ruth’s kinsman redeemer, is a picture of Jesus our Redeemer, whom we are to rest in. This rest refers to an inner posture of trust and quiet confidence in Jesus’ finished work and in His ability to give you increase and good success as you go about doing what you need to do. Rest is not sitting around doing nothing and waiting for His blessings to fall into our laps.”
I have been preparing to build the little house for at least 5 years. For twenty years I have lived with a very injured ankle that could not be fixed. This Friday I am scheduled for a total ankle replacement at Duke Memorial Hospital.
Reflecting on my history, I wish I had rested. Thank God I am aware of this message today and I rest in His care. My foot, the house, family, finances are all in good hands.
News the next few days,will be just of recovery to the point of not being on pain medication. Anyone had an ankle replaced?
