Then she came softly and uncovered his feet and lay down. Ruth 3:6-7 (ESV)  It was dark, her presence was unexpected, and her actions were demonstrating a vulnerability that few would like to admit, much less demonstrate.

Life is made up of a series of moments that have built upon each other, just as a mason lays one brick upon another until the walls are completed. Each brick is dependent upon the previous brick, and when all are laid correctly, the wall stands firm throughout the ages. Ruth had been living the moments of life in a way that each moment was laid correctly in anticipation of one day finishing the walls of her life, and then enjoying the strength and stability that comes from such diligence.
