       Ruth 2:14-16 King James Version (KJV)
       14 And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat
       of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat
       beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did
       eat, and was sufficed, and left.
       15 And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young
       men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach
       her not:
       16 And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her,
       and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.
       Ruth 2:14-16 New Life Version (NLV)
       14 When it was time to eat, Boaz said to Ruth, “Come here. Eat
       of the bread and put sour wine on it.” So she sat beside the
       people who gathered the grain. And Boaz brought her grain made
       ready over a fire. She ate and was filled and had some left. 15
       When she got up to gather grain, Boaz told his servants, “Let
       her gather even among the standing grain. Do not speak against
       her. 16 Pull some grain out of the grain that has been gathered
       together and leave it for her to gather. And do not speak sharp
       words to her.”

       These are my thoughts, please share yours.
       14 This is kind of what we see today as dating whether that is
       what is happening isn’t clear but he is being hospitable and
       kind to her.
       15 So he is telling his servants to let her gather and that they
       should not mess with her in any way, just as Boaz was protecting
       Ruth from his servants, God protects us from some of the things
       in this world if we are doing what we are meant to do here.
       16 He is telling them to leave grain behind, this would make it
       easier for her to gather grain, sometimes God just throws out
       blessings for us to pick up.
