All-nighter

Haven't pulled an all-nighter since last year.

There was this rush job I had to finish last Friday night. I arrived at my house at around 11:00 pm and I did not stop working until around 10 am the next day...

Anyway, I finished that work and we will reap its fruits before Christmas.

We may salvage this holiday season yet... and I may be giving out my wishlist for this year.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. No, that's wrong, I'm expecting it because expectation will attract it quickly.

I was also busy yesterday because I had to split my time between Nico's Christmas Party at school, where he portrayed one of the Three Kings, and choir, that overlapped. I eventually made it to both. It's a good thing these two events are just around 400 meters away from each other. And it's so nice to see Nico developing his school and social skills so well...

So here's to a great week ahead of us... just in the nick of time.

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.
