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.
Children are a gift from the Lord;
they are a reward from him.
Children born to a young man
are like arrows in a warrior’s hands.
How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them!
He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city gates.
Let all that I am praise the Lord;
with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.
Let all that I am praise the Lord;
may I never forget the good things he does for me.
We will not hide these truths from our children;
we will tell the next generation
about the glorious deeds of the Lord,
about his power and his mighty wonders.
Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged;
parents are the pride of their children.
I asked the Lord to give me this boy, and he has granted my request.
Paul’s Thanksgiving and Prayer
Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God.
How we thank God for you! Because of you we have great joy as we enter God’s presence.
O nations of the world, recognize the Lord,
recognize that the Lord is glorious and strong.
Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.
From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another.
Then the women of the town said to Naomi, "Praise the Lord, who has now provided a redeemer for your family! May this child be famous in Israel. May he restore your youth and care for you in your old age. For he is the son of your daughter-in-law who loves you and has been better to you than seven sons!"
Only the living can praise you as I do today.
Each generation tells of your faithfulness to the next.
