PG here, Christmas is coming up. Mary and Joseph are remembered when Jesus' Birthday is remembered. Jesus told me ***men asked women to carry their children.*** ***God asked Mary to carry Jesus, his son.*** God provided for Mary and Joseph, bringing Jesus gold, frankincense and Myrrh. No one ever separated Mary and Jesus until Jesus became a man. I assume it was at his Bar Mitzvah. Turning 12 or 13 years old. Then he went to learn from those who held and knew the scriptures. (The Jewish ceremony for a boy becoming a man, the Bar Mitzvah, meaning "son of the commandment," marking his religious adulthood and responsibility for Jewish law (mitzvot) at age 13.)
The point is, ***Mothers have an anointing from God***, ***A Calling from the Holy Spirit*** to raise their children. Mary was called when the angel visited her. This is why women can not just get a job! They have gifts from God to raise their children. Children can not be raised by just anyone.
Mothers and children need to be reconciled to each other. God has to supernaturally heal this broken relationship to a healthy one. Heal the past separation so the adult children do not have abandonment and other psychological problems. Public schools' adoption and divorce do this. Step-parents are not a fix. It is a continuation of the problem.
