   I) Pray for the leaders of Prince Edward Island,   
   that God's Spirit would influence   
   then to act justly,   
   serve with integrity

   prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings for everyone,   
   2 (Ezr 6:10) for kings and for all who are in authority,   
   that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and honesty,

   and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

   Advent Day 27   
      
   FRIDAY, FOURTH WEEK OF ADVENT   
      
   Early Offering   
      
   to be taxed with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.   
      
   -Luke 2:5   
      
   Luke mentions that Mary was "great with child" (KJV) so candidly   
   that we don't pause to ponder how difficult it   
      
   must have been for her to travel all the way (about 70 miles!) from Nazareth   
   in Galilee to Bethlehem in Judea. Even more significant, the Christ Child   
   she carried must have been jostled and jarred by the movement, Loo.   
      
      
   Those of us who use statements of faith in our worship services declare   
      
   in the Apostles' Creed that Jesus "suffered under Pontius Pilate, was   
   crucified ... " I believe instead we should say, "suffered, under Pontius   
   Pilate was crucified" to be more accurate to the original. Jesus suffered   
   all his life, not just under Pilate. When we reflect on the appalling journey   
   that he endured in the womb, we might imagine that his sufferings on our   
   behalf began even before he was born. What amazing love that Christ sustained   
   such adversity for us!   
      
   prayer   
      
   Jesus Christ, your afflictions for us were more than we can   
   conceive. How can we ever thank you appropriately? Amen.   
      
   Read Luke 2:1-7.   
      
   1 (Lk 3:1; Mt 24:14) In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus   
   that the entire inhabited earth should be taxed.   
   2 (Lk 3:1) This taxation was first made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.   
   3 And everyone went to his own city to be taxed.   
   4 (Jn 7:42; 1Sa 16:1) So Joseph also departed from the city of Nazareth   
   in Galilee to the City of David which is called Bethlehem, in Judea,   
   because he was of the house and lineage of David,   
   5 to be taxed with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.   
   6 So while they were there, the day came for her to give birth.   
   7 (Mt 1:25; Lk 2:11-12) And she gave birth to her firstborn Son,   
   and wrapped Him in strips of cloth, and laid Him in a manger,   
   because there was no room for them in the inn.

   Your Special Christmas   
      
   4 (Heb 2:4; Ro 12:4-6) There are various gifts, but the same Spirit.   
   5 There are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.   
   6 (1Co 15:28) There are various operations, but it is the same God   
   who operates all of them in all people.   
      
   [4] Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.   
   [5] And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.   
   [6] And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which   
   worketh all in all.   
   1 Corinthians 12:4-6   
   When you prepare for an event and things don't quite go as planned,   
   it is easy to become discouraged. But as part of the church - the   
   family of God - no one is more important than another, and every   
   gift is both helpful and necessary. I saw this in action during a recent   
   On Eagle’s Wings ministry trip.   
   Each person brought something unique to the team - preparing   
   snacks, listening, telling a story, playing silly games, comforting   
   others, the ability to laugh at mistakes, or speaking words of   
   encouragement. And even when things did not go as planned, we   
   were able to see God at work and remind each other of his good   
   purposes.   
   Jesus came for us, and it is his Spirit within us that give us places   
   and opportunities where we can use our unique gifts to minister to   
   and encourage other people. You might think your part is small, but   
   we all have a particular gift from God and he is at work in and   
   through us to accomplish his good will.   
   This Christmas season, take a few moments to ponder and ask God   
   to show you the special gift or gifts he has given you and how you   
   might use them to bless someone else.
