VBS Day 5: God Gives Good Gifts

You place Your hand of blessing on my head.
Psalm 139:5
God Gives Good Gifts
Back in Old Testament times, there was a woman named Hannah who really wanted a baby. She prayed and prayed to God, asking Him for a son.  One day she was at the temple and she was praying silently for a child.  The High Priest, Eli, saw her and asked her why she was so sad.  When she told him what was wrong, he promised her that God would give her a son.  And He did!  She had a little boy named Samuel, who grew up and became a prophet of God.  Samuel's name means, "God heard."  We know that God Listens to Us, and now we know that God Gives Good Gifts!

Hannah was so grateful to God that she gave Samuel back to Him when he was still a little boy.  She took him to live and work with Eli in the Temple.
