Nico's 5th Birthday Letter

Dear Nico,

Once again, another year has passed and you are another year older.

I can still remember those late nights (or early mornings) we spent together when you were merely a few months old. Those were tough times for me especially, because I was already taking care of our family alone. And I was already taking care of you personally alone that time.

Anyway, I can only wish for you only the best. The best of health. The best of friends. And the best of all that life can offer you.

You are now growing up to be a smart and healthy young boy. I can only hope I can guide you well and teach you the right values.

May you continue to grow up and mature into a fine and upstanding person.

Always know that I am always here for you. And Bea and I love you very much.

Happy Birthday, my baby boy!

We love you.

Love,
Daddy

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.
