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.
Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great. Thou hast put on praise and beauty:
And art clothed with light as with a garment. Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion:
We are become a reproach to our neighbours: a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
Children’s children are the crown of old men: and the glory of children are their fathers.
For this child did I pray, and the Lord hath granted me my petition, which I asked of him.
I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you,
For what thanks can we return to God for you, in all the joy wherewith we rejoice for you before our God,
Bring ye to the Lord, O ye families of the nations: bring ye to the Lord glory and empire.
Every best gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of alteration.
And of his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace.
And the women said to Noemi: Blessed be the Lord, who hath not suffered thy family to want a successor, that his name should be preserved in Israel. And thou shouldst have one to comfort thy soul, and cherish thy old age. For he is born of thy daughter in law: who loveth thee: and is much better to thee, than if thou hadst seven sons.
The living, the living, he shall give praise to thee, as I do this day: the father shall make thy truth known to the children.
