It was really great to see every one of our Sunday School pupils move to the number “10” last Sunday to indicate how much they cared for their families. And that’s exactly what God wants us to do. We each cared differently about other things, like favorite TV shows and vanilla ice cream and what we wore to school, but everyone cared 100% about their family!
This Sunday we will look at a different kind of family, Naomi and Ruth. Ruth was Naomi’s daughter-in-law, and moved with Naomi back to her home town of Bethlehem after the end of the famine that had forced the family to move to Moab. They were both widows with little money, so Ruth went “gleaning” (picking up leftover grain) from the barley fields to provide a little food for Naomi and herself. But God had more in store for that family. They both trusted God to take care of them, and God blessed them with a relative who married Ruth, took care of Naomi, and had a baby who was the grandfather of great King David. It’s a great story, and you will enjoy learning about this Bible family.
We will also be making a surprise gift for mothers in class this Sunday. You’ll want to be there, and to bring a friend!
Tom and Sydney Cook
