June 30th Daily Word, Hymn and Psalm

With praise and thanksgiving to God everliving, the tasks of our everyday life we will face--our faith ever sharing, in love ever caring, embracing God's children, the whole human race. With your feast you feed us, with your light now lead us; unite us as one in this life that we share. Then may all the living with praise and thanksgiving give honor to Christ and his name that we bear. ("Sent Forth by God's Blessing" - Text Omer Westendorf, 1916-1997, alt.)
