       Ruth 2:17-19 King James Version (KJV)
       17 So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she
       had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.
       18 And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in
       law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to
       her that she had reserved after she was sufficed.
       19 And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned
       to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take
       knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom
       she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to
       day is Boaz.
       Ruth 2:17-19 New Life Version (NLV)
       17 So Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening. Then she
       beat out what she had gathered. It was enough barley to fill a
       basket. 18 She picked it up and went into the city to show her
       mother-in-law what she had gathered. Ruth gave Naomi what she
       had left after she was filled.19 Her mother-in-law said to her,
       “Where did you gather grain today? Where did you work? May good
       come to the man who showed you favor.” So Ruth told her
       mother-in-law, “The name of the man I worked with today is
       Boaz.”

       These are my thoughts, please share yours.
       17 This shows Ruth as a hard worker; she did all she could do.
       She worked all day and just gathered a basket full this was just
       what was left behind. This also showed that they left extra
       behind because what was left behind was not to pick up so the
       hunger could eat no hungry person would eat an entire basket.
       18 This was what was after she already ate so this is to feed
       her mother in law and still have some left over. When we come
       into God’s field like Ruth did with Boaz we get our fill and
       have plenty left over.
       19 Naomi knew that this was to much to be picked up from just
       what was left behind, she knew that the man who owned the field
       showed her favor. We are to gain God’s favor.
