Restorer

Mary is an art restorer.

So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the Lord enabled her to conceive, and she bore a son. The women said to Naomi, "Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you today without a near kinsman. Let his name be famous in Israel. He shall be to you a restorer of life and sustain you in your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him." Naomi took the child, laid him in her bosom, and became nurse to him. The women, her neighbors, gave him a name, saying, "A son is born to Naomi". They named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

Slightly mesmerized by this accomplishment, Rita asked, "Are you a chair mender?" "I'm the best carver, joiner, and expert furniture restorer in this country. So what about it?" "If you really are a good restorer - you'll have to wait a minute, though. I'm only looking after the place for the owner at present. I'll have to consult her."
