Dear Parent & Grandparents,
Talk with your preschooler about ways he or she can help people in your family. Ask: “Can you think of a way we could record everything you do to help people in our family?” Ideas might include using your mobile phone to video a task your child does to help the family. Or, your child might want to make a chart with stickers for completed tasks. Review with your child how Ruth helped her family and why Boaz was so nice to her.

Ruth Helped Her Family Ruth 1:1-22; 2:1-23
Bible Story Brief -
• Ruth and Naomi were widows. Naomi was Ruth’s mother-in-law. Ruth loved Naomi. When Naomi moved back to her hometown of Bethlehem, Ruth went with her.
• Ruth and Naomi needed food. It was time for the barley harvest. Ruth said, “Let me go to the fields and glean (pick up barley that workers leave behind).” Naomi replied, “Yes, go ahead.” Ruth went to a field and walked behind the harvest workers, picking up barley left on the ground. Boaz owned the field. He saw Ruth and asked his helper, “Who is that woman?”
• The helper answered, “That is Ruth. She moved to Bethlehem with Naomi. She asked if she could glean. She has worked hard all morning.”
• Boaz said to Ruth, “Do not to go to another field. Stay here and gather barley in my fields.” He shared his water and food with her. Ruth asked, “Why are you so kind to me?” Boaz said, “I know how kind you have been to Naomi.” Boaz told his workers to leave extra barley for Ruth.
• Naomi was surprised to see how much barley Ruth brought home. Naomi asked, “Where did you work to get so much barley?”
• Ruth said, “I worked in Boaz’s field today.” Naomi said, “Boaz is part of my family. Stay with his workers, and you will be safe.” Ruth worked in Boaz’s field until the end of the harvests. She helped her family.
