Punzi's Corner Blog: Not yet over

This day in history from:

Not yet over

Came home relatively early this morning (coming home at midnight was already a bonus), but there's still a lot of work left to be done. I even got to video chat with a friend who's studying in the Netherlands.

Good thing I won't go back out there and will just probably spend the entire day over at a friend's law office coordinating our client's efforts.

Bad news, though: I missed the family outing today at Subic. They're all on their way there now and I'm home alone and I'm beginning to miss my kids this past week. I haven't been around as much as I want because of work.

I hope I can rest tomorrow... and do choir...

Anyway, let me leave you with my last song syndrome this past week. This song stuck too much in my mind I find myself singing it in my travels to the provinces. Just goes to show how effective this was. But this does not necessarily mean I voted for him (though I'm not denying that either). Elections are over so I can already post this.

Enjoy your weekend!

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.
