Upon re-entering the city of Bethlehem we find much excitement and enthusiasm for Naomi, she must have been greatly missed.

This proved to be absolutely untrue; the family was rich and overflowing with bountiful blessings from the Lord their God.
The blessings of God are not always identifiable on the families' economical ledger sheet. One may misperceive God's blessings in the midst of famine and frail circumstances.
