In this field Ruth labored. Indeed, her harvesting would have been hard work—using a sickle to glean the corners of the field and picking through the field for any grain the harvesters had dropped. Ruth caught the attention of the servants because of her hard work, staying in the field from morning through the heat of the day—not even stopping long to rest "in the house" (verse 7), which was probably a tent or canopy to provide some shade in the field. Ruth has thus established a good reputation for herself. "In a small community the story of Ruth and Naomi would be common knowledge, the focus of much conversation (cf. v. 11). Now events showed Ruth hardworking (v. 7), respectful (v. 10), modest, and grateful (v. 13). The reputation we earn opens—or closes—the door of opportunity" (Bible Reader's Companion, note on verses 6, 10-11, 13). Indeed, Ruth's having sown seeds of good character was allowing her to "reap a harvest" of great reward (compare Galatians 6:7).

Great qualities of a women set by Ruth. What are the qualities to make us great young strong ladies of today's world? I'm not going to seek the answer in the media at all as they are all crap. Do comment and enlighten me.
I have been thinking about the role of a job in our lives. Why do we need to work and what significance has it in our lives? Been trying to find that our from the bible too. Say if you now have 1 million, what will you be doing and will you still work and why? I'm just trying to figure out the role of a job in our lives.
Marriage is two whole person forming a family. It is not for the lonely to find solution to their problems and loneliness. Not half plus half. Then this will be formed on shaky grounds.
THere is no perfect mate chosen for us. We are given the choice and freedom to choose. But he will help to open our eyes and help to guide us in making the right choices. First, prepare ourselves and be one whole first. When we are prepared, go for church activities and serve so as to meet people in the same belief. It is possible to choose people with different belief but they must be almost whole and teachable. But never let the person feel that the person is placed above Him. Or they will not respect Him and you.
