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.
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.
How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
They cannot be numbered!
This is the day the Lord has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Teach us to realize the brevity of life,
so that we may grow in wisdom.
Yes, you have been with me from birth;
from my mother’s womb you have cared for me.
No wonder I am always praising you!
The one thing I ask of the Lord—
the thing I seek most—
is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
delighting in the Lord’s perfections
and meditating in his Temple.
Yet you brought me safely from my mother’s womb
and led me to trust you at my mother’s breast.
I was thrust into your arms at my birth.
You have been my God from the moment I was born.
I asked the Lord to give me this boy, and he has granted my request.
For I, too, was once my father’s son,
tenderly loved as my mother’s only child.
My father taught me,
"Take my words to heart.
Follow my commands, and you will live.
Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice!
There the child grew up healthy and strong. He was filled with wisdom, and God’s favor was on him.
