Maternal love

"But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever. "the end of the first book of samuel we can see that Samuel's mother doesn't want to go up to see the lord because her son is too young and wants to wean her child. she just wants to take care of him, in fear that the Lord will take Samuel from her and that he will die because he is not used to milk which is not from his mother's breast milk.

She wants the best for her baby and is willing to sacrifice her baby to the Lord as long as she knows that he will be fine. This reminds me of my sister's love towards her baby. She is completely dedicated to her. She is doing everything, she hasn't hired a nanny like most people do. instead she is 100% dedicated to her baby and she is so happy and in love. There is nothing like a mothers love towards her baby. 

When something is wrong my mother is always the first to know because she feels it. and its like that with almost all moms. It is almost as if they had a sixth sense and they were connected to their children.
