Home Duty

I find myself working from home today. This was my life before. It's not my life now but during these times that I am here working I find myself more comfortable.

It's being home in all senses of the word.

Also, I had to be home and in my most comfortable because of the annulment petition I'm drafting. There intricacies in this case that I have not encountered before, requiring more research and more thought. Likewise since the client is not exactly a stranger, I find myself more empathetic to her plight.

So I'm not surprised that I felt heavy-hearted after I finished drafting her petition. Had to shake it off by some quality time with Nico and some video games afterwards.

There's still some work left for today but I decided stay at home for today. Then, I'll probably get some rest and/or play video games again. I got some Wii games and finally, that Dynasty Warriors 6 for the PS3 I have been hunting for some time now.

I've been playing it since yesterday and I have to say, it's very good.

Hope your week ahead is a productive one.

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.
