I love to write short devotionals that God reveals to me through everyday life and situations, through children and animals, or through nature itself. God speaks to us daily and I want to put the wonderful things He brings to my mind on paper to share with others. It might be something quite common; however, sometimes God reveals a lesson to me in a totally unique way. I'm sure you've heard or read the story of Ruth and her daughter-in-laws before and I won't revisit it in its entirety; however, I want to focus on one part. Ruth 1:14, "...Orpah kissed her mother-in-law good-bye; but Ruth embraced her and held on." (MSG version)
The question I want to ask each of us today is this: Are you a kisser or a hugger? I know this may sound a bit odd, but let me explain the context of which I'm talking. Orpah as a kisser, Ruth as a hugger.
