Noble Characters

Ruth was my grandmother's name.  I have been hearing the name a lot lately so it has given me pause.   In October I read Into the Magic Shop by James R. Doty and have been recommending this book ever since.  The woman who taught him how to relax the body, meditate and place desires on the heart was named Ruth.  One of the esteemed birders in my area is named Ruth.  I just went to Delaware Bay with her.  On Sunday a seminary student told a story about his Aunt Ruth who was full of life. I watched the movie Race last week about Jesse Owens going to the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games.  His wife's name was Ruth.
If you google "Ruth" what comes up first is the Hebrew biblical character Ruth.  The entries say things like "protaganist" and "noble character."  This fits the description of my grandmother and all of these women.  All of these women have either left a legacy or are leaving one now.

Now for the reflective questions which you can journal about or if you'd like to share your story, I'd love to hear from you and the community would love to hear from you!  Your comment could have a major impact on someone else; most likely it will be just the right thing at the right time for one of the readers. For me, God* wanted me to know that helping even just one person is wonderfully impactful.

Reflective questions:
1.  Is your name one you hear often?  How do you feel when you hear it?

2.  What kind of legacy are you leaving?

3.  What does God* want you to know about this (ask directly, God, what do you want me to know?)

* I use the term God as a universal term.  You may decide that Great Spirit, Allah, Higher Power, etc. better suits you today.  It is not for me to decide.
