Observations about Hannah and Samuel

• How old was Samuel when he was dropped off? Maybe 3-6 years old. Can you imagine just dropping him off somewhere, and then seeing him once a year?! Desperate. That is the word for so many situations in the Old Testament. And she didn't know if she would have any more children. But look at what it accomplished - Samuel was considered the final bridge between the time of the judges and the time of the kings.
