PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen
THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.
THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."
So God granted him what he requested.
The Lawyer's Oath
I do solemnly swear that
I will maintain allegiance to
the Republic of the Philippines,
I will support its Constitution
and obey the laws as well as
the legal orders of the
duly constituted authorities therein;
I will do no falsehood,
nor consent to the doing of any in court;
I will not wittingly or willingly
promote or sue any groundless,
false or unlawful suit,
nor give aid nor consent to the same;
I will delay no man for money or malice,
and will conduct myself as a lawyer
according to the best of my knowledge
and discretion with all good fidelity
as well to the courts as to my clients;
and I impose upon myself this voluntary obligation
without any mental reservation
or purpose of evasion.
So help me God.

I pity the kids. I pity you too. Despite your seemingly lack of care for her. I know you still do.
I hope this saga comes to a good close, very soon.
Dear Anonymous,
Perhaps you have not been reading this entire blog. I merely blog about her visits for record purposes. It's a calculated legal move. If she ever denies her lack of visits, I can use this blog as evidence that she does not visit. My regular readers are all aware of this.
I categorically deny still caring for her. Sure, I did, once (I married her, didn't I?). But not anymore.
Sure, I may be still hurting from the deceit and the betrayal. But caring for her? Not anymore.
I hope I have made my position on this matter very clear. And I'm equally tired of explaining these things already.
regards, whoever you are.
Hi. I'm a solo parent too and I've been following your blog. Congratulations, its great.
I can't help but relate to your entries on dealing with your estranged spouse.
And, I'd like to say...that difficult as it is, with all the pain and hurt you go through time and again, it would be great if you could foster an atmosphere wherein your former spouse would be open to visiting your children.
Maybe you could arrange for visits to take place in a venue acceptable to you and her, and where the kids would be comfy.
Maybe you would need to come to a compromise with her on how these visits should be conducted so that she wouldn't feel she's being controlled or judged.
I don't know the exact circumstances of your situation but I am just speaking to you from knowledge borne out of my own experience.
Its very difficult to believe a mother would want to stay away from her two adorable children. That's unfathomable. There must be a compelling reason that keeps her away.
In the end (and please pardon me for lecturing) the kids will benefit and be so grateful to you if you could pave the way for them to see their Mom.
I can tell that you're a capable lawyer. I'm a lawyer too. But I believe in our situation, the law should take a backseat if in doing so, we could make it possible for our co-parent/ estranged spouse to see their children.
Again, I don't know the entire set of facts in your case. I can feel the pathos in your entries and I know whereof you speak.
Praying for your healing and wholeness.
Unfathomable, isn't it? But true. She really does not want to visit her children despite her free access to them once a month. And I take pains to make them available at the appointed time.
But it's her loss if she does not want to visit. Hey, I'm not her lawyer, not anymore. And I will not dispense any advise to her to visit her children. It's her choice and it's not my problem if she chooses not to exercise that choice.
Maybe in time my children will meet their mother. But I have already fulfilled my end of that bargain. Whether she comes across is her problem and choice, as I will not force her children upon her, also.
regards
