Ruth 3:8-10a,11

Ruth 3:8-10a,11 And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet. And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman. And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman. Boaz went to sleep on the threshing floor. Ruth sneaked in and lay down at his feet. Then at midnight, Boaz had a bad dream and woke up. And there was Ruth at his feet. Ruth asked Boaz to take care of her and Naomi. Boaz smiled. Everyone in town knew that Ruth was a good woman. Boaz wanted her for his wife. But there was a problem. Boaz was a near kinsman, but not the nearest kinsman. He had some planning to do, but he would not rest until he had Ruth as his wife! God was still at work taking care of every detail.
