For this lesson, we link to David Hertzler's Family Bible Study, Grandparents in the Bible.
Compare Naomi's condition with no grandchildren:
Ruth 1:20 But she said to them, “Do not call me Naomi;[pleasant] call me Mara,[bitter] for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. 21 I went out full, and the LORD has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?”
With Naomi at the birth of her grandson:
Ruth 4:14 Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a close relative; and may his name be famous in Israel! 15 And may he be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.”
