No rest for the Punzster

Just came back from a grueling meeting with my most active (and most lucrative client). And before that, another 4 hours of prep work.

There was so much work that I missed my government consultancy's Christmas party.

There will still be no rest tomorrow. I just took my leave in the morning to attend to some personal errands (read: shopping for my children's gifts, Nico's milk and some stuff for Christmas dinner) because I would not have any other time for them. Then it's off again to another grueling meeting. Saturday's going to be more of the same.

Anyway, I hope we reap the rewards of the hard work we have been (and will be) putting in... next year.

I would not be surprised if I can't find time to blog these next few days...

Disaster relief, sustainable development & community service

Side Prayers

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.
