God of heaven and earth, who created all things for your pleasure, grant us your blessing that we would be able in turn to bless those around us and they might continue to spread the blessing to their neighbors, that all the world might be filled with your goodness, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
‘I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.’ – Gen. 12:2
