What would it be like?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be told that you would be giving birth to the Savior of the world? I wonder what went through Mary’s mind when the realization of her role in the world was made known. What about Joseph? What would he think of being Jesus’ earthly father? I could not fathom the immense feeling of inadequacies that would go through his mind.
