We've read this story before. The one about Naomi and Ruth. I've told the kids before about the Rahab/Boaz/Ruth/King David/Jesus connection.
But, today, our daughter really got it! She saw the amazing interconnectedness of the Bible. She saw these "characters" as real people. She saw how people way back in the Old Testament have a bearing upon the New. She saw that a widow gleaning in a barley field becomes an unlikely ancestor of Jesus.
Thank you, Lord, that I have the awesome privilege to be with my children during the day instead of having to send them to the government factory/church/school.
