Mary was blessed by being the human mother of Jesus Christ. I'm blessed every day by God. I bet you are, too.

Did you ever have the Holy Spirit take from your flesh and blood to conceive within your womb the Second Person of the Trinity thus becoming the "Mother of God", and then carry the "fullness of the Deity in bodily form" in your womb for nine months, and then literally give birth to God, and then raise God your son from infancy to adulthood, daily seeing and talking with God your son face to face? Try that and then let me know if you're any more blessed than you are now.

Where in the scripture do you find that she recognized Jesus as God during His childhood? The only evidence we have is to the contrary. Her losing Him on the way home and scolding Him for His inconsideration of Joseph and her. In fact the testimony is she did not raise her sons to believe that Jesus was God since they didn't believe Him.
