Dear Naomi

Dear Naomi, 

You brought me into your home and accepted me when I didn't feel worthy of being accepted. 

You love me and call me your child. 

You have shown me what a real family is like, and I can't thank you enough for that. 

When I felt like nobody cared about me, you swept in and began to care for me. 

When I was at my lowest, you encouraged me to keep going. 

When I cry, you are there for me: to love me, and to make sure I'm okay. 

God placed you in my life, and you have made a huge difference in it. 

God brought you to me to help mold me into a woman of God. 

God knew I needed you, and He brought us together. 

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done, are doing, and will do. 

I am truly speechless. 

I love you. 

Now, you are probably wondering who Naomi is. 

Naomi is found in the Bible. 

She was Ruth's mother-in-law. 

She accepted Ruth as her own. 

God brought them together like He has us. 

Now, Naomi literally changed Ruth's life so much that Ruth said this: "But Ruth said, “Don’t force me to leave you; don’t make me go home. Where you go, I go; and where you live, I’ll live. Your people are my people, your God is my god; where you die, I’ll die, and that’s where I’ll be buried, so help me GOD —not even death itself is going to come between us!” (Ruth 1:16-17 MSG)." 

It's amazing. 

So, again, I thank you. 

You are such a blessing to me. 

I thank God everyday for placing you in my life.
