Agradecimento pela família
Agradecer pela família é reconhecer a bênção mais preciosa que Deus nos concede. Os filhos são herança do Senhor — cada membro da família é presente divino a ser celebrado.
Behold, children are a heritage and gift from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb a reward. [Deut 28:4]
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
How blessed [happy and fortunate] is the man whose quiver is filled with them;
They will not be ashamed
When they speak with their enemies [in gatherings] at the [city] gate.
Praise for the Lord’s Mercies.
Bless and affectionately praise the Lord, O my soul,
And all that is [deep] within me, bless His holy name.
Bless and affectionately praise the Lord, O my soul,
And do not forget any of His benefits;
We will not hide them from their children,
But [we will] tell to the generation to come the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,
And [tell of] His great might and power and the wonderful works that He has done.
Grandchildren are the crown of aged men,
And the glory of children is their fathers [who live godly lives]. [Ps 127:3; 128:3]
For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my request which I asked of Him.
I thank my God in every remembrance of you,
For what [adequate] thanks can we offer to God for you in return for all the joy and delight we have before our God on your account?
Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
Ascribe to the Lord glory and honor and strength.
Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens], in whom there is no variation [no rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [for He is perfect and never changes].
For out of His fullness [the superabundance of His grace and truth] we have all received grace upon grace [spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, favor upon favor, and gift heaped upon gift].
Then the women said to Naomi, "Blessed is the Lord who has not left you without a redeemer (grandson, as heir) today, and may his name become famous in Israel. May he also be to you one who restores life and sustains your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him."
"It is the living who give praise and thanks to You, as I do today;
A father tells his sons about Your faithfulness.
