Today I stayed with Naomi again, she’s been looking after my son Obed, there’s so much to do here at the fields. My husband Boaz has been away for a while. He’s gone to Nazareth to gather supplies for the upcoming winter season, mainly wood. That’s what we usually use for winter because we have a little fireplace in our house. In a way, it’s been kind of lonely even though Naomi’s here with me. It’s probably because I don’t have my husband with me all the time watching me when I work. He’s so proud of me, when I work. That’s when he first saw me, I was working away in his fields. Anyways i’m going off topic now. This morning all I had was a little piece of bread. We can’t afford much ever since my husband lost it all. That’s a different story for  another day though, I wish i could give my son more to eat seeing as he’s a growing boy and still so young. We do what we can though. Boaz skipped breakfast this morning so he could leave some for dinner and for the next couple of days. He works so much, I don’t know where he gets his energy from. All I know is that he’s a strong man and he will do anything for his family. Naomi is pretty much part of family too. She lives with us, she eats with us, she works with us and she prays with us. As a matter of fact, the other day she collapsed for working too much. She’s an old lady and she does what she can. I promise to always stay by her side till the very end. I think all this working is getting to my head I should stop writing now. Ruth, signing out.

Mary showed trust in Joseph, Faith in God, Patience for the long way there + giving birth and Perseverance for not giving up. I can demonstrate these qualities in my life by finding the right people to be around, trusting them, having faith in God, being patient for anything I need to be patient for and persevering in anything I do.
