While Ruth was not a Jew she was given an important role, reminding us God can and will bless anyone who follows him.

Sadly, many Christians are like the Dead Sea, sitting in the pew and absorbing the messages like a sponge, but never serving the Lord or giving back to Him or to others the many financial and other blessings He has bestowed on them. And as we know, a sponge that absorbs water but is never wrung out soon begins to stink!<br />Thank you as always for sharing your insights and encouragement. May God bless you and Alex,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-35994178482060589002018-09-30T11:06:02.858-07:002018-09-30T11:06:02.858-07:00Amen, Brenda!

It is amazing to see how God provides for the needs of His children through others, and it is a great privilege He gives us to be a blessing to others. To Christ is the victory over all enemies!<br />God bless,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-4150164930791800052018-09-30T08:58:39.546-07:002018-09-30T08:58:39.546-07:00Dear Laurie,
Yes, I'm back!
This phrase "...Dear Laurie,<br />Yes, I'm back!<br />This phrase "God will provide more blessings through you than to you" is so appropriate geographically in the Holy Land. I'm talking about the comparison between the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea. As the River Jordan feeds into the Galilean lake, I believe its source to be from Mount Hermon to the north, the Jordan River then leaves the lake to the south of it, the river flowing southward to the Dead Sea, where there is no outlet. The result? The Sea of Galilee is freshwater and teeming with life. On the other hand, the Dead Sea matches its name, so salty that life cannot exist there.<br />Having visited the Holy Land, I have been to both, each with its own unique experience.<br />An excellent blog about your grandmother Baba and how her life compared with Ruth.<br />God bless.

After my father passed away she had much help from the Lord through many people. I too agree with 'God will provide more blessings through you than to you.' We overcome the enemy by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-61716739032965199292018-09-29T16:08:24.191-07:002018-09-29T16:08:24.191-07:00Amen!
