What a situation Mary & Joseph were brought into by God! A newly engaged couple, a teenage pregnancy, and a fiancé trying to do the right thing by his religion, his community, his fiancé and himself. Joseph felt the only thing he could do was quietly divorce Mary but we see that God had other plans for their relationship. God intervened, Joseph listened, and they went on to raise the hope for all relationships on earth...Jesus! Reality is that many of us have been trying to handle our relationships with our own wisdom, and own strength for a long time but this week we remember that God is only Hope for Relationships.
