I definitely think that this story is overlooked. We just know it so well that we forget the small details that makes this story incredible; such as Mary being an unwed teenager... Plus her and Joseph didn't really have family to support them and on top of that, just think of the faith both of them had to have to abide by God's plan.
God's overall plan was way bigger than what they had planned for themselves and it takes great faith and courage to put 'yourself' aside and serve the Lord whole heartily.
"This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too." -Luke 2:33-35
wow I didn't know the small details of that story, I'll have to read it over. It also makes me realize that I don't read my bible much as I should.
