    Today, Pastor Jeff reminds us that your family might look different from someone else's—and that's okay! God brings families together in special ways, and when we choose to love God and love each other like Ruth did, He honors and blesses that faithfulness.

For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and who is better to you than seven sons, has given him birth.” 16 Then Naomi took the child in her arms and cared for him. 17 The women living there said, “Naomi has a son!” And they named him Obed.
