Joseph had a dream from God went around boasting about it. Mary had a similar revelation from God, but did not go around boasting about it, but what a thing to boast about!! She kept it to herself in quite faith. Would I boast and use God to help me feel better than my friends, or would I hold in in my heart with quiet faith in God?

Interesting after the Jacob/Esau stuff where Jacob, the younger son wrongly get the older son's inheritance that Jacob discriminates in favour of his younger son. And then (pre-empting the rest of the story over the next few weeks) ends up suffering grief as a result. “And Joseph brought his father bad reports on them”… what a brat!
