Punzi's Corner Blog: Togetherness

This day in history from:

Togetherness

It was all about togetherness yesterday.

My mom had a hairdresser's appointment but since we only have one car right now, we (by that the three of us and the nanny) took her there. Bea also had a trim so we spent some time there chatting.

Then off to lunch together with law school friends and our families over at Trinoma. We spent a long time chatting about the days we were together and also our present and future concerns and we broke off near 4:00 p.m. I did not enjoy the food and ate only a little because of an upset stomach. Drat!

Finally, my niece and first goddaughter Merphi finally played violin in my choir. I had to break off our lunch together with my friends so I can help her practice the songs.

Choir went well and it was the first (and not the last) time Merphi and I will play together.

And I think I have recovered from my stomach disorder already.

All is well. And I'm very grateful for all the togetherness yesterday and I'm looking forward to more togetherness in the future.

Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

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.
