Answers to Prayer

I've always been told about Hannah. My mom loved the story of Hannah. (2 Sam. 1,2.) That is because my mom was married almost 20 years before she had me. She'd wanted a baby from day one, it just never happened . . . well, not "never", but not for a very long time. Now I read the story of Hannah and see the greatness and creativity of God. I want, more and more as the days go by, to have a hand in the future. That will not come by way of a child . . . not one of MINE, anyway. But God in His kindness allows me to touch the younger generations, partly through extended family, partly through my friends' kids, and mostly through being on staff at our church's college ministry. It's been such a joy. Life becomes so fast-paced with young adults. Everything can change in an instant . . . first she likes him, and then she likes someone else, and then she gets a new job . . . life is like an ever-rolling river for these kids-it's never stationary for long. I think it is making me feel younger, and that is a good thing.
