Scholars tell us that Joseph was a young man and Mary was a teen when she gave birth to the Savior of the world. The first chapter of the book of Luke tells of an angel of the Lord visiting Zacharias to let him know that he would be the father of John the Baptist and then appearing to Mary to notify her that she had been chosen to birth the Savior. Joseph and Faced challenges during her pregnancy and they were very much alone in their journey. Given time to ponder the situation, you have to wonder if Mary was truly aware of what was about to take place. Mary, did you know?
What about Joseph? People advised him to end his relationship with Mary because they thought she had been unfaithful to her betrothed. Joseph trusted the Lord and his fiance. Some difficult days lay ahead of this young couple because the world did not understand all that was happening. After all, it wasn’t his child.
Mary Did You Know is one of my all time favorite Christmas songs. I am not familiar with It Wasn’t His Child but it is also a great song. Of Trisha Yearwood could sing the phone directory and make it sound great.

What a sweet little figurine.
The songs are ones to make you think and contemplate, aren’t they.

I am sure that Mary and Joseph had plenty of evening to think about and discuss their situation and you have to wonder how some of those discussions went.
