TOday, while prcticing lectio divina, I had a sense of "humbleness"; of the humbleness of Hannah's offering, and of her request to have children; and the Lord not only acknowleging, but honoring both her dedire for a child, and her offering of a robe for Samuel. The message that came to me, was that the Lord, vast adn majestic, sees and honors all offerings, no matter how humble the source or the gift.
