I'm going to try to catch up on my bible. I've missed reading.
Tonight I'm laying here in bed snuggled up to my laptop...
I was reading from Ruth (refreshing my memory of where I was in my readings)
I forgot how much I like this verse but how I never realized it was spoken to Ruth's mother in law. I always thought it was to a spouse. Ok...here's the embarassing part. I actually thought this was some Native American saying. I'm not sure why...I never realized this was a biblical verse. Learning more everyday.
"Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me.”
I just started with Ruth today (for the second time...it's one of my favorite books in the Bible) and verse 16-17 (the ones you quoted) have always been my favorite. I hope you enjoy Ruth as much as I have :)
