Under His Wings

Christmas Story sentimentality vs. harsh reality

Story of Ruth and Naomi faced harsh reality as well.
Same time a beautiful love story, romance between Ruth and Boaz.

The heart of their story ch. 3:7-13

Unabashed love story - make a movie based on the plot.

The Pursuit
Who was pursuing whom?
Ruth just trying to survive - without welfare.
Naomi the matchmaker
Boaz the old geezer.

If you want anything in life, you've got to go after it.
"Seize the day.' "Ask, seek, knock."

The Personhood of the pursuers.
Their character as godly and faith filled.
Like Mary and Joseph in the Christmas story.
They were both honorable.

The Lord was their ultimate protector and pursuer.
