Ruth 3:3
1. Special occasions call for us to be at our finest. Certain events call for us to look our best, act our best, wear our best, and be at our best.
2. There are times that we would not want to be like the woman that made a mad dash out of her house when she heard the garbage truck pulling away. She realized that she had not put the garbage out that morning.
