Courage

In our crazy lives how often do we complain, whine and cry in the midst of trials, pain, and worry.

What would happen if we took a step back from our situation and praised God for all the blessings that surround us? The very breath we take is a blessing. The place in which we reside is a blessing. The food that is provided for us is a gift from God. The ability to recognize the love in a child, spouse and friend is sunshine filled with joy.

Ruth was a woman of courage.

A strong woman who grew in her love for God. Through her grief of the loss of her father-in law, her brother-in-law and then her beloved husband she displayed her loyalty by remaining with her mother-in-law for a tremendous journey. A journey that would change the world! One choice of courage changed the destiny of many around her.



Where does God have your feet today? How are you responding to His gift of love?
