Dad's Ramblings -- Rejoicing in the Midst of Sorrow

"And Hannah prayed and said:
               'My heart rejoices in the LORD;
                I smile at my enemies, because I rejoice in Your salvation.' "
 
                                             I Samuel 2:1
 
It was surely a traumatic experience to give here son – her only son – away. I can imagine the tears of both Hannah and Samuel as they hugged goodbye. There would be an empty place in the house – no more pattering of tiny feet; no childish chatter; no snuggles when it was bedtime. But Hannah looked beyond her pain to the God of her salvation, and her rejoicing was in His goodness and greatness.
 
Today's Thought: Our souls can rejoice in the midst of sorrow when our eyes are on our great God.
 
Have a rejoicing day. Love you.
