Breasts of Towers, continued

Another girl with Breasts of Towers is, yes, another Bible character-- Ruth. She was significant enough to have a book of the Bible named after her. Ruth wasn’t necessarily a hottie with a body (as our Song of Songs girl clearly was), but she was a faithful, thoughtful, courageous woman.  She was a foreigner who decided that caring for her dead husband's mom was more important than returning to her own people. So Ruth displayed first a lesson in faith. She trusted the God of her husband's family and put that relationship first. When Ruth arrived in this foreign land, she was resourceful, and started working even lower than a servant to put food on the table for her mother-in-law, Naomi. We know that this willingness to care and provide for Naomi, perhaps together with her beauty or foreign appearance, made Ruth noticeable to a very respected man, Boaz. He showed her great kindness, above what anyone would have expected, so that Ruth and Naomi realized he was rare. She stuck close for the harvesting time, and then followed that clever Naomi’s advice. She put herself out there by showing significant initiative: She slept at Boaz' feet on a threshing floor, akin to asking him to marry her and giving her the protection of his name, signified by his garment. She knew he would understand her actions and words, and she trusted him to take it from there.  Boaz proved to be up to the task, and handled it like a true man of character. Ruth's actions took confidence, an unwavering self-awareness, and love of and faith in people and in God. In other words: breasts of towers.
