“So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD.”Â
And he worshiped the LORD there. 1 Samuel 1:28 (NIV)
Margaret McSweeney wrote,
“A mother’s heart knows how to stretch and to grow.
 A mother’s heart knows when it’s time to let go.�
Yes, friend, letting go is an essential part of being a mother.
“Let go to let grow� should be your motto as a mother too.
A mother lets go of her baby’s hand so he can learn to walk.
She lets go of the bicycle handlebars so her child can learn to ride alone.
And she lets go of the apron strings so her young adult can mature.
But especially, a mother needs to let go and let God grow her son or daughter.
In the Bible, Hannah is a fine example. She gave her son Samuel completely over to God.
She said “he will belong to the Lord his whole life.�
Yes, friend, let God have control over your children… no matter what age they are!

To God Be the Glory great things he has done. To you, I dedicate the life of my four beautiful kids, Rhianna, Joyce, Cobain Max and Joshua in to your hand to mould, shape and use for the purpose you have long designed in their life.
Use them God mightly for your Kingdom, Amen.
Yes this is a thought provoking devotional.
God takes care of His children even in the absence of their mothers.
In their place He appoints somebody else to take care.
In the case of Samuel- he was in a tender age- Eli, the Priest was there to take care of the boy samuel- God’s appointee.
Yet every parent is given charge to see his/child grow knowing God and attain the ability to look after himself.
But many parents neglect this responsibility, God gave them.
Thank you Ms. Bright.
