The book of Ruth was written to provide a lovely example of the sovereignty and plan of God. In this beautiful account (Ruth1:16–17), He demonstrates how He will use a person (Ruth) who for all practical purposes is a foreigner and enemy of the Israelites. Her daughter-in-law Naomi demonstrates unconditional love/grace when she refuses to leave her side. Ruth ends up playing a pivotal role in the storyline of the Bible because of her loyalty and desire for God, and thus she becomes the great-grandmother of King David!

Make bunches of "wheat" by shredding brown paper in the shredder and then bundling it up. Children can gather leftover wheat like Ruth did.
The Faithfulness Paper Braid and Prayer Activity demonstrates how the lives of two people (Ruth and Naomi, a friend and Me) are interwoven with their spiritual life of following God's will.
