Chapter 1:

Being told your soon to be wife is pregnant, must have took a toll on Joseph ( Mathew 18 ) I am assuming he wanted kids. Just being part of that time was hard with the lack of resources and technology we have now a days but, they did have helping hands ( Kids ) lots of them . In fact in the genealogy of Jesus. Rehoboam had 28 sons and 60 daughters! ( 2 Chronicles : 21). You’d think he would stoped at 10 and 10 each, but they just needed the extra help i guess. Jesus was the brother of 3 boys and more than 1 sister. I wonder if he ever got a time-out or grounded. Was Joseph a patient father? I would assume so just because he listened to the angel and believed; which is the true antidote for being patient. If you see how great the outcome will be in the future, then why not be patient and wait for it by believing it's already here. Hebrews 11: 1 “Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.” Even when the bible refers to us having as much faith the size of a mustard seed; we imagine it being the size of a watermelon. Joseph in his years has built up having that kind of character ( A man of Faith ). You just tell him once and he believes. Everyone has been inpatient in life but having just a little faith counters that. Keep in mind that situation are not forever. Joseph could have been thinking what they could say about him or Mary. Yet he was not worried about that and obeyed every command. All by  just having faith and being patient in Gods promise.
