All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
God made their glowing colors,
God made their tiny wings.

The purple headed mountains,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky.

God gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

Gracious God,
we thank you for your many blessings.
You have created us all, unique and diverse, yet bound together in love.

Grant that we might continue to be of service in your precious world.
Help us to leap barriers of division and strife, of injustice and exclusion.

Please forgive those tough places in us,
Our thoughts and actions that aren’t reflections of you.
Show me how to let God fill those places with love and goodness.
Amen

“John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?’” Jesus had just then cured many people of diseases, plagues, and evil spirits, and had given sight to many who were blind.
And he answered them, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have good news brought to them. And blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me.”
A blessing and a sending

Gracious God whose glory fills the whole creation, and whose presence we find wherever we go: Preserve Miss Kent as she travels; surround her with your loving care; protect her from every danger; and bring her back to us in safety; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Come, thou fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.

Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,
mount of thy redeeming love.

Here I find my greatest treasure
here by thy great help I've come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.

Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
interposed his precious blood.

O to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee.
Photo by Fe 108Aums
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here's my heart, O take and seal it,
seal it for thy courts above.

Life is short. We don't have much time to gladden the hearts of those who walk this way with us. So, be swift to love and make haste to be kind.”

And the blessing of the one who made you, the one who sees you and the one that calls you beloved be with you this day and always Amen.
