<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>Boaz and Ruth - A Marriage Made In Heaven!</h2><br />
<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>by Dwight Keller</div><br /><br />
<div class='uawarticle'> Famine in Bethlehem-Judah caused a man called Elimilech to leave his home there, with his spouse Naomi and their 2 sons, Mahlon and Chilion and head for the distant land of Moab, where the faith, language and culture would be totally different. At first they planned to stay there for just a short while till things improved in their homeland but in process of time they settled down and started to enjoy life in Moab. Their boys married Moabitish better halves, <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Boaz-and-Ruth---A-Marriage-Made-In-Heaven!&id=7071963">Ruth and Orpah</a> and all thoughts of returning to the land of Israel vanished. Then things began to go wrong; Elimilech died and just after that, both Mahlon and Chilion died and all too soon , there were three forsaken widows residing in Moab. <br />
<br />
Life was tricky and Naomi started thinking of home and the good chums she had there and so she determined to return to the land she had left years before. When she discussed her scheme to her daughters in law they decided to go back with her. Naomi tried to dissuade them from accompanying her as she knew that life would be so different in Israel. They refused to leave her. The day for leaving came and all 3 started the journey to Bethlehem-Judah but as they went on the way, Orpah thought that maybe she should return to her folks and relatives and therefore after shedding many tears, she said farewell to Naomi and Ruth. Naomi recommended that Ruth too should ideally go back but she couldn't persuade her as Ruth was steadfastly minded to accompany her ma in law and remain with her, till death would separate them. <br />
<br />
Straight after arriving in the old home country, Ruth realized she had a responsibility to seek employment to make provision for her mother in law and so she sought work gleaning in one of many fields of waving grain, at the time of crop. It so happened that she arrived in the sector of a chum of Naomi?s, an especially rich and respected man named Boaz. The executive was questioned by Boaz as to who the rather attractive young lady was who was gleaning in his field and he reported all that he knew to Boaz. Boaz then went himself to Ruth, introduced himself, welcomed her and inspired her to make herself at home there. What an encouragement to young Ruth who may have felt moderately weird in these circumstances. <br />
<br />
After her first day of grind there, she rushed home to tell Naomi of her good fortune and to display all that she had been given by Boaz. Naomi was considerably attracted by the events of the day and thought that perhaps Boaz would be the very husband she had been looking for for Ruth, although he was much older than she. <br />
<br />
As the weeks went past their relationship developed and their mutual love grew and at last they agreed to marry. After some time they had their first kid, a boy whom they named Obed. What contentment that brought to Naomi who volunteered to look after her grandson and her years of unhappiness in Moab were shortly forgotten. It is interesting to recollect that Obed became the granddad of one of the most renowned kings of Israel, David, the sweet psalmist of Israel. <br />
