Thanks for agreeing with the overall point. I'd have to check the Greek on that.

But I would stand by the conviction that a woman who was blessed to have carried the Savior in the intimacy of her body for 9 months, given birth to Him, nursed Him, cuddled Him, taught Him to walk and to talk, fed Him, prayed with Him, lived with Him for 30 years, grieved for Him in his final, sorrowful moments of stripping, humiliation and death, held His crucified body in her arms, and knew His triumph when He was raised from the dead, was blessed above anyone, man or woman, who ever lived.

Unless you think these were negligable blessings? "Huh --- that was nothing." (Sigh.)

How more intimate is that than having Him dwell in your heart through faith? Interior vs exterior?

Hyperbole much? Did not the text I posted from scripture show she was blessed “among” women? But let’s put it in perspective like Jesus did.

Luke 11:27-28 27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. 28 But he said, Nay rather, (Greek Menounge: nay surely, nay rather) blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
