Hannah Releasing Her Blessing
Scripture exploration on 1 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.""
Hannah prayed for young Samuel for years with heavy tears. When he was born, she spent his early years nurturing, feeding, and loving him. Then, she walked him to the temple to dedicate him to Lord. Hannah understood that our children are not our possessions; they are precious loans from Heaven. Good parenting is a constant exercise of loving deeply while releasing our children into God's sovereign hands of protection.
