For all the single ladies in a hurry to get married, here's some advice.

RUTH patiently waited for her mate BOAZ. So while waiting on your Boaz, do not settle for any of his relatives , Brokeaz, Poaz, Lyinaz, Cheatinaz, Dumbaz, Cheapaz, Lockedupaz , Goodfornothinaz, Lazyaz or Marriedaz and especially his third cousin Beatinyoaz. Wait on your Boaz and make sure he respects Yoaz!!

I don't know the author of this post,

I just love it - don't you?

hahaha

Read it before

I like it - I thought it was a very good one

I laughed so hard

it was so sweet don't you think so?



Oh yeah Let the Good Times roll!

@ JK

oooo OK - I never saw it before - I am loving it

Cool but while Ruth was waiting,she was working at the fields,did not lock herself inside her room and kept herself presentable and neat.

No man would notice you if you lock yourself inside ur home.go out,make friends,mix with singles(church programmes,singles seminars),the boaz might just be out there expecting Ruth.

I'd say rebecca and isaac.

Rebecca was hardworking, sincere and kind hearted and that's what made her stand out when the man sent specifically to find a wife, met her and decided to look no further.

Nothing wrong with the ruth example but she had a lot of sorrow which most younger girls can not relate with.

Just my opinion, not meant to be general.

@Iya and Tpia

I completely agree with you.

Happy, Happy Saturday Everyone

Lol, funny.

Anyway Ruth didn't really wait for Boaz per se, she went and laid on his bed. Can't happen in today's Nigeria without the men singing your name, branding you a slut.

That's so beautiful. Thanks for sharing

ROTFLMAO!!!

she laid at his feet, not on his bed.

the old testament is very strict about immorality and suchlike.

and the reason why she wasnt branded a slut was because some things happened prior to that. She didnt just risk her life for no reason.

for example, this was one of Boaz' previous conversations with her:

At this, she bowed down with her face to the ground. She asked him, “Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you notice me—a foreigner?”

11 Boaz replied, “I’ve been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband—how you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know before.

12 May the LORD repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”

more about ruth:

“She is the Moabite who came back from Moab with Naomi.
7 She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves behind the harvesters.’

She came into the field and has remained here from morning till now, except for a short rest in the shelter.”

Boaz was old enough to be Ruth's father......just putting it out there make the tori complete.

Hope your fairy tale fantasy is still in tact

In the Muslim world . . millions of women are locked up in the house most 24/7 hrs each day. Yet, millions of the same women get married each year. In much of the west, and Nigeria, millions of women play dress up, go out, mix with singles,etc. Yet the marriage rate is much lower. I think rather than go around telling people what you obviously have No real trick on, you are best just letting them live their lives as they ought to. The marriage rate in the west is far lower than that in Islamic states.

I have a friend who followed the, what I call 'silly' advice you posted above to her death( I call it silly because it is really silly especially when you consider that not everyone is the 'making friends' and 'mixing with singles' type yet many of these still get married each year). Very beautiful gal, quiet, intelligent . . the kind any man would want to take home to mother.She felt that rather than BE WHO SHE IS(introverted, and self confident), she would instead go against her heart because people like you said she could not find him while doing what made sense to her, in her wait for Mr right. She found him alright, while she was going out, making 'friends', and mixing with singles . . . He killed her in the end.

I have read the story of Ruth. I must admit she is a wonderful woman. But on the account of her sneaking in to go an lay on Boaz's bed, na Konji cause am. She has never been with a man since the passing away of her husband so when she got that opportunity, she quickly snatched it. She seduced Boaz. I have this feeling the bible played down the scenario. The same wire that runs in the anatomy of today's women is the same in the days of Ruth just that they were more reserved (just maybe oº°˚). Konji has always been & will always be.

For those not in the know of what konji means, it means "ѕєχυαℓ starvation/deprivation".

jennykadry: Read it before

me too,hahahaha i wonder y we always think alike

no wonder they are single ladies everywhere...

Instead of you to pick one of his cousins, you are here waiting for boaz that has gone with ruth.

You mean that lady that kept going to grandpas's field and slept on his threshing floor so he'd notice her patiently waited for him?


What do I need a Boaz for when there are a million and one Isaacs on planet earth
