Another Shot: A Modern-Day Ruth and Boaz Story (11 page)

But Ruth replied, "Don't ask me to leave you and turn back. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. Wherever you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord punish me severely if I allow anything but death to separate us!" When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she said nothing more.     Ruth 1:16-18 

God has not promised skies always blue, 

Flower strewn pathways all our lives through. 

God has not promised sun without rain,

Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.

But God has promised strength for the day,

Rest for the laborer, light on the way.

Grace for the trial, help from above,

Undying sympathy, unfailing love.
