Chapter 2 Ruth meets her Man

Oh Snap that's right, in chapter two Ruth meets Bodacious Boaz! If you remember in chapter 1 basically Ruth is chilling with her mother in law Naomi, all man less and stuff but she's sticking by her Mama N. Ruth's in a new land and they are poor. So poor that Ruth needs to go glean the fields, she wants to go
"Let me go to the fields and pick up the leftover grain behind anyone in whose eyes I find favor." (verse 2) Girl knows what time it is. So she starts gleaning the fields and someone does find favor with her.
Boaz asked the foreman of his harvesters, "Whose young woman is that?" (verse 5)
The harvesters tell Boaz what's up and to which he replies:

8 So Boaz said to Ruth, "My daughter, listen to me. Don't go and glean in another field and don't go away from here. Stay here with my servant girls. 9 Watch the field where the men are harvesting, and follow along after the girls. I have told the men not to touch you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get a drink from the water jars the men have filled."

He goes on to tell her that he had been told what she had done for Mama N, and He tells her in verse 12
12 May the LORD repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge."

He later invites her to have a sweet dinner and tells his harvesters to leave a little extra for her to pick up.

When she gets back from gleaning Naomi asked what happened. Ruth tells her to keep staying close to Boaz's servants because otherwise she may be harmed in other fields.

The most interesting things I take from this are the fact that Ruth was willing to go glean in the fields to "provide" for her and Mama N and it was dangerous.
Boaz sees something special in her and shows favor, but not cause he's a man because He's being lead by God. She was recognized for her efforts, leaving her family and going to a new land couldn't be easy, but she did and the Lord showed favor for her.
