RUTH'S plush sheep became more than just a toy; it was a tangible representation of the virtues her father embodied and the spiritual teachings he shared. Each night, as she held the plushie close, she felt a deep connection to the stories of the Good Shepherd and the unwavering love of her earthly father. This simple gift served as a bridge between the innocence of childhood and the profound depths of faith, illustrating the nurturing relationship between a father and his daughter, as well as the divine connection between the believer and God.
