—Ruth 4:13-17
by: Kennedy Ochs.
Naomi’s community gathered around her to celebrate new life in her family line through her daughter-in-law, Ruth. Children are a gift from God. He alone brings children into our lives to bless us and carry on His will. Children bring life to a family—and not just their nuclear family, but their church family as well. The joy of a child permeates through the family’s community. Children are also a great responsibility. We are to care for them, not only because of the life they bring us, but because within them is the potential for a better future.
