during a trip to the art museum today; a painting by joseph anton koch stood out. I'd known about ruth but never really knew her story. when my friend described the subject of the painting I was then aware how destitute her situation must have been to ask to pick up the grains of barley that were left behind by the harvesters.
what a strong love ruth must have had to follow her mother in law (against her objections) in to such a situation ~
Ruth 1:17
Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me.
