In these weeks between Thanksgiving and the New Year does it seem to you that our social calendars are filled to overflowing, our emotions rise and fall, sometimes by the hour, and our relationships are both enhanced and strained at the same time?  Yesterday I left you standing in Bethlehem, about 1100bc, watching a remarkable scene. Old widow Naomi was holding infant Obed, born to Ruth, Naomi's Moabite daughter-in-law widow and her God provided 'kinsman redeemer' husband Boaz. For the past week or so we were on the wonderful journey of tracing the Biblical story of Ruth. It is a remarkable story of God healing broken hearts and providing when all hope had been lost.  (Click here to see full text, images and links)    Today's Scripture is 1 Samuel 1:1-7. Choose below to read or listen.​​Pastor Doug Anderson    “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus…” (Heb. 12:1,2)Have a comment or question about today’s chapter? I’m ready to hear from you, contact me here.
