Punzi's Corner Blog: Full Circle

This day in history from:

Full Circle

Seems like everything has come around full circle.

More specifically, a client that we have not serviced for some time now has come back because of a big problem.

While I personally have problems with the comeback, I know my law partner has no choice but to help. But that also leaves me with no choice but to help him in any way I can. I just have to be professional about it.

I just hope that full circle will not compromise the gains we have already achieved in our office in the short time it has been in existence. We already have set rules and these get broken simply because of this one client. I hope that does not continue.

Anyway, we (meaning Bea, Nico and I) went around on some errand this morning and I played plumber again when we got back. No need to tell you what plumbing project I just finished.

Then there's choir this afternoon, of course, followed by our monthly practice.

Oh, it seems I have a picture of that big pleading we filed. Do you want to see?

You asked for it:

Happy 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.
