Ruth 2:20 

When Ruth returns home with grain, Naomi recognises Boaz’s kindness, and something shifts in her. The woman who said she came home empty begins to speak hope again  blessing Boaz, acknowledging God’s kindness.

Hope often awakens slowly. It doesn’t shout; it stirs. Naomi’s heart, heavy with grief, begins to lift because of one act of kindness. God often uses small signs to rekindle hope in us too, even after long seasons of sorrow.

  A gentle practice for today:   Notice one place where hope is stirring.  Lord, awaken hope in me again.
