1 Samuel 1:26-28 ASV

A few weeks ago I found out that my wife was pregnant with our first child!!! Words can't express my overwhelming joy and excitement. Yet, somehow as I read this tonight I realized that even as God has given us this incredible blessing in the end he/she was only on loan to us. In the end he/she has, will and will always belong to God. Hannah spoke these words to Eli according to the bible: I have dedicated my son to God and he is dedicated to him for LIFE! There is no better place that I would rather have my son/daughter be then in the center of Gods will. May they no that while I may have the honor of being called their father, there is a greater dad that loves them so much and looks forward to seeing them grow into the man/woman of God that he created them to be!
