Main Takeaways

·     From Amy, “What was the greatest desire of her heart? And I love the very end of verse 21 of chapter two, when it says, ‘The child Samuel grew before the Lord.” Because I have five kids. And all I want for them to do is hear the voice of the Lord and try their very best to do his well. That's all I want for them.”

·     From Wendi, “We live in a world where keeping the faith is hard. . . Our kids don't always want to follow that pathway that a mom's heart may follow. But I think as Hannah kept her faith, she knew that Samuel would be taken care of, you know, and we talked about we didn't know what his experience was, but somehow he grew up to be a good righteous man. Because I think she gave him to the Lord. And sometimes I think as moms we have to do the same . . that by sending our children to the Lord, whatever that looks like, even if they may or may not choose that path of faith, right in their own lives, that we will receive them beyond and down through the ages of eternity.”

·     From Tamara, “Cherish the small moments because you don't know how long you have. So, give the rest to God. He's a good God.”
