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 you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;
you are he who took me from my mother’s womb.
My praise is continually of you.
One thing have I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
and to inquire in his temple.
Yet you are he who took me from the womb;
you made me trust you at my mother’s breasts.
On you was I cast from my birth,
and from my mother’s womb you have been my God.
For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition that I made to him.
When I was a son with my father,
tender, the only one in the sight of my mother,
he taught me and said to me,
"Let your heart hold fast my words;
keep my commandments, and live.
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.
And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom. And the favor of God was upon him.
