Ruth - What Makes a Family? (Mark 10:29-30)

Description Ruth - What Makes a Family? Mark 10:29-30 (West Virginia Country Folk Duet) Mark 10:29-30 29 Jesus said: “Truly I say to you, no one has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the good news 30 who will not get 100 times more now in this period of time—houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields, with persecutions—and in the coming system of things, everlasting life. Naomi and Ruth remind us that servants of Jehovah can open their hearts and make even the smallest, most bereft of families glow with warmth, kindness, and love. Arranged in a traditional West Virginia Blue Ridge mountain bluegrass style, this song highlights Ruth's hard work, loyal love, and the way Jehovah provides family and comfort through His people. Do you appreciate the family you have? 📖 Scripture References: Ruth 2:17-23 — Ruth gleans in the fields and shows loyal love to Naomi.
