Meet Ruth and Find a Free QP

Meet Ruth ...

I guess I have been divinely inspired to continue with a series about women of the Bible. Their stories fascinate me. This time around we are going with the book of Ruth.

Ruth was a woman who was widowed at a young age. Her mother-in-law, Naomi, was also widowed. Naomi lost her husband and her two sons. Some time after these losses, Naomi decides to head back to the country she was from. Even though she tells her daughter-in-laws to return to their families, Ruth moves forward with her. She is very dedicated to helping her mother-in-law, even though she is leaving everything she knows behind. In this new land, Ruth is socially considered at the bottom of the ladder. They are not very receptive to foreigners. She goes out to beg farmers to let her work in the fields behind their paid workers just so she can gather anything they drop for her and her mother-in-law to eat. This is dangerous considering she is a woman alone and a foreigner. She comes to the fields of Boaz. He has heard much about her already and is very kind to her. He loves the character that she shows even in the position she is in. He lets her work behind her crew, tells them to leave extra for her and tells the men to leave her alone.

Through the season she works for him. Naomi tells Ruth about Boaz and the wonderful man that he is. She directs Ruth to be bold and ask Boaz to be her kinsman redeemer" (you may have to look that one up if you are unsure of what that means!) He is pleased and figures out how to work this out immediately. They are married shortly after this and have a son named Obed.

All the people who thought little of Ruth in the beginning of the story, fall in love with her and tell Naomi that she is better than seven sons!!

I felt like Ruth was a little more down to earth than Esther. I chose the earthy grunge feel for her. It turned out to be a beautiful kit. I hope she would be proud!! Here is it...

New Kit and Free QP

Here is a new kit that I am totally excited about. I love the colors and the richness of this kit. It is inspired by the story of Esther in the Bible. A lovely young lady with a beautiful heart who was orphaned as a girl and raised by her cousin. She was brought to the temple along with all the young beautiful virgins for King Xerxes. He was to choose a wife and the Queen of Persia from these girls. Esther won the hearts of many in the palace including the King. She was crowned Queen. Later she is called upon to make a choice. Her cousin reminds her that she may be in this position for such a time as this. She chooses to go to the King with her plea, even though it may cost her her life. A brave young woman determined to do the right thing even if it means death.

I love the story and the characters. I hope you enjoy the kit. It is in both of my stores - Scrap it Sassy and Just Digilightful. It will be on sale for 25% off until the end of October.

Here is a preview of the kit.
