Aniversário de criança
O aniversário de uma criança é momento de celebrar o presente precioso que Deus deu. Cada criança é formada e conhecida por Deus desde antes de nascer.
For thou hast possessed my reins; thou didst cover me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee, for I am fearfully, wonderfully made. Marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My bones were not hidden from thee when I was made in secret, curiously wrought in the lower parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my unformed substance, and in thy book all my members were written; during many days were they fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
But how precious are thy thoughts unto me, O ·God how great is the sum of them!
This is the day that Jehovah hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
So teach us to number our days, that we may acquire a wise heart.
On thee have I been stayed from the womb; from the bowels of my mother thou didst draw me forth: my praise shall be continually of thee.
One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire of him in his temple.
But thou art he that took me out of the womb; thou didst make me trust, upon my mother’s breasts. I was cast upon thee from the womb; thou art my ·God from my mother’s belly.
For this boy I prayed; and Jehovah has granted me my petition which I asked of him.
For I was a son unto my father, tender and an only one in the sight of my mother. And he taught me, and said unto me, Let thy heart retain my words; keep my commandments and live.
Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.
And the child grew and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom, and God’s grace was upon him.
