Hey, long story I won't go into but my Mother swears blind that the reason she 'gave me up' was the Ruth Parable. The story she gave me goes like this....One woman claimed that a baby belonged to her, Ruth was the true mother. When God said that they must split the baby in half Ruth stepped back and gave the child to the other woman. God decreed that the Ruth was the true mother because of her action. My Grandparents brought me up and I suspect the other woman was my Nan, but as I grew up it became clear that Mother dearest wasn't interested in me....she had 4 other children with her new hubby. This is one of the stories she told me, this is not my understanding of the parable so please don't laugh!!
I can't find any reference to this story. I can't find this story anywhere. Is there anyone out here that can shed some light on this for me? I thought I'd put this into 'resources' and hope someone resourceful type can help me
Thanks guys and gals
Peace x
