“For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition that I made to him.” (1 Samuel 1:27)

There’s more to the passage:

“So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord.” (1 Samuel 1:27)

This is the heartbeat of Samuel’s parents.

Mother and child are doing well. Thanks for all your support!

Christmas will take on an even deeper meaning for us this year.
