1 Samuel 1 & 2:1-11

Hannah, barren, prays, gives birth to Samuel.

"I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord. And he worshipped the Lord there." verse 27-28

Wow. I pray I have the selflessness of Hannah with my children some day. She was so grieved, so deeply troubled without a child and one God gives her one...She gives it back!!! What an incredible picture of a mother with her child. I pray that as a mother I can be like Hannah... I don't have a CLUE what that means. But goodness, that is so incredible!!!
