The Portion of my Inheritance

It was Hannah in 1st Samuel that set the example for parents to dedicate their children to the Lord, for His purposes. 

And the heart that is turned toward Him is pleasing in His sight, the desire to give back to Him the most precious treasure.

So they come before man; family and friends to declare this desire and this commitment to the Lord.

For it is the wise heart that knows “from whence comes their help”, and we all “labor in vain unless the Lord builds the house.”

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; they shall not be ashamed, but shall speak with their enemies in the gate. Psalm 127:3-5
