Punzi's Corner Blog: Nick of time

This day in history from:

Nick of time

Cashed an early time check this morning when I played Civilization: Revolution until 2:00 a.m.

But then, I had to wake up at 5:30 a.m. to take Bea to school.

I was planning to pay this time debt back afterwards by dozing off when I got back, but I had some work to do.

Then, I had to go to my consultancy until 2:30 p.m.

A meeting at 4:00 p.m. until almost 7:00 p.m. and then a meeting with my brother-in-law, who is set to construct our new office for another hour. The off to dinner which turned out also as a meeting with my partners. This ended at around 10:00 p.m.

Then the trip home, and I got back just now.

But we got paid today. And just in the nick of time... that's all I have to say about that.

Everything evened out at the end of this day. And for that I am truly grateful.

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.
