While sorting through boxes this fall, I found an old handwritten card from my Mama that I took on my 8-day silent retreat. She concluded the card by saying,
“We will be praying with you for God’s will to be done in your life at this time. We’re glad He has the master plan (for you and for us!)
All our love, Dad and Mom xxx ooo
Then she added these Scripture references. May they bless you on this Lenten Saturday.
I am confident of this, that the One Who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:6)
Now to Him Who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. (Ephesians 3:20)

“the One Who began a good work among you will bring it to completion” … I like it.
Amen, Tim – I like it, too (lots!) and, thank God it’s not just all up to us! 🙂
