Hello steemians in dtube and all other communities.
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there! May the blessings of God rest upon their lives in the name of Jesus, Amen .

Today, I will be sharing with you the story of Elkanah, an Ephrathite man who had two wives: Hannah and Peninnah . While Peninnah had children, Hannah was barren . Elkanah was a man who served God and each year, he and his family went to Shiloh . He gave both of his wives their portion of food, as well as Peninnah's children, but also gave a worthy portion to Hannah, despite her not having children .

This continued year after year and eventually provoked Hannah, causing her to go to the house of the Lord without eating . She wept and prayed to the Lord, and when Elkanah saw her weeping, he asked her why she was crying and why she hadn't eaten . She replied to him, "Am I not better to you than ten sons?" Elkanah comforted her and she rose up to eat .

After eating, she was still in bitterness and made a vow to God, promising to give her child back to the Lord if He would grant her one . As she prayed, the priest saw her and thought she was drunk, but she told him that she was not drunk, but rather, praying. The priest blessed her and said to her, "Go in peace, and may the Lord answer your prayers ."

True to the priest's words, God answered her prayer and gave her a son named Samuel . Hannah fulfilled her promise to God by dedicating Samuel to Him . I pray for all mothers, may God grant them their heart's desires, and may their children not be a burden in their lives in Jesus' name, Amen .
