Kind Ruth

«Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God!» Ruth 1:16

In the little town of Bethlehem there was a happy family: mommy Naomi, daddy and two little boys.

Suddenly, there was no more food in the town. Naomi’s family moved to another place where people worshiped strange gods.

The boys became young men and married pagan girls. Then something very sad happened! Naomi’s husband and her two sons got sick and died! Naomi and her two daughters-in-law cried a lot!

Then she told the girls to go back to their families. One of them did, but the other, Ruth, refused to go. She had met the true God and wanted to worship Him too. So she went back with her mother-in-law Naomi to Bethlehem, to live like the people who loved God.

Let’s practice!

Talk to your mom about the difference between strange gods and the true God.
