Attending Father

Bea's down with chicken pox.

But fortunately, I had her vaccinated for it when she was younger. I thought that rendered her immune. But now I know she can still get it, but it will only be in a very mild form that would not last a week.

I remember when I got that disease in full force. There was no vaccine at the time and the timing was perfect. I got it when I was reviewing for the bar exams.

Anyway, at least Bea (or Nico for that matter, since he's also vaccinated) will not suffer as much as I did if (or when) they get it.

So for now, it's SOHO duties for me. It does not matter as much because the wonders of technology will allow me to work from the house. And I have some things to do, as a matter of fact. If needed, I can make a quick stop to the office but I can't be out of the house for my normal long time.

So if you'll excuse me, I have to play father right now and attend to Bea... Of course, Nico would want the same attention, too.

If only I could clone myself, I'd make three copies. One for work, one for Bea, one for Nico and one for play...

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.
