Aniversário
O aniversário é momento de celebrar a vida que Deus nos deu. A Bíblia nos convida a agradecer por cada dia, contar nossos anos com sabedoria e alegrar-se na bondade do Senhor.
Agradecer pela vida
Este é o dia que o Senhor fez — alegremo-nos! Cada dia é presente de Deus, cada ano é prova da sua fidelidade.
This day belongs to the Lord!
Let’s celebrate
and be glad today.
We will celebrate
and praise you, Lord!
You are good to us,
and your love never fails.
With all my heart
I praise the Lord!
I will never forget
how kind he has been.
It is wonderful to be grateful
and to sing your praises,
Lord Most High!
It is wonderful each morning
to tell about your love
and at night to announce
how faithful you are.
Your anger lasts a little while,
but your kindness lasts
for a lifetime.
At night we may cry,
but when morning comes
we will celebrate.
dear friend, and I pray all goes well for you. I hope you are as strong in body, as I know you are in spirit.
A obra de Deus em nós
Tu me teceste no ventre de minha mãe — maravilhosas são as tuas obras! Cada vida é obra-prima do Criador.
You are the one
who put me together
inside my mother’s body,
and I praise you because of
the wonderful way
you created me.
Everything you do is marvelous!
Of this I have no doubt.
Nothing about me
is hidden from you!
I was secretly woven together
out of human sight,
but with your own eyes you saw
my body being formed.
Even before I was born,
you had written in your book
everything about me.
Your thoughts are far beyond
my understanding,
much more than I
could ever imagine.
You are the one
who put me together
inside my mother’s body,
and I praise you because of
the wonderful way

Everything you do is marvelous!
Of this I have no doubt.
Nothing about me
is hidden from you!
I was secretly woven together
out of human sight,
but with your own eyes you saw
my body being formed.
Even before I was born,
you had written in your book
everything about me.
I have relied on you
from the day I was born.
You brought me safely
through birth,
and I always praise you.
From the day I was born,
I have been in your care,
and from the time of my birth,
you have been my God.
You, Lord, brought me
safely through birth,
and you protected me
when I was a baby
at my mother’s breast.
From the day I was born,
I have been in your care,
and from the time of my birth,
you have been my God.
I never stop thanking my God for treating you with undeserved grace by giving you Christ Jesus,
Oração de bênção
O Senhor te abençoe e te guarde. Tu és toda formosa e em ti não há defeito. Deus cuida de cada detalhe da tua vida.
I pray that the Lord
will bless and protect you,
and that he will show you mercy
and kindness.
May the Lord be good to you
and give you peace."
My darling, you are lovely
in every way.
She is strong and graceful,
as well as cheerful
about the future.
Her words are sensible,
and her advice
is thoughtful.
Charm can be deceiving,
and beauty fades away,
but a woman
who honors the Lord
deserves to be praised.
Gray hair is a glorious crown
worn by those
who have lived right.
Every time I think of you, I thank my God.
Sabedoria e alegria
Ensina-nos a contar os nossos dias. Deus encheu nosso cálice de alegria e o seu caminho mostra-se vida em plenitude.
Teach us to use wisely
all the time we have.
"Please, Lord,
show me my future.
Will I soon be gone?
You made my life short,
so brief that the time
means nothing to you.
"Human life is but a breath,
You have shown me
the path to life,
and you make me glad
by being near to me.
Sitting at your right side,
I will always be joyful.
You brought me more happiness
than a rich harvest
of grain and grapes.
I ask only one thing, Lord:
Let me live in your house
every day of my life
to see how wonderful you are
and to pray in your temple.
Your kindness and love
will always be with me
each day of my life,
and I will live forever
in your house, Lord.
I praise you, Lord!
You are my mighty rock,
and you teach me
how to fight my battles.
You are my friend, my fortress,
where I am safe.
You are my shield,
and you made me the ruler
of our people.
I am certain, Lord,
that you will help
your chosen king.
You will answer my prayers
from your holy place
in heaven,
and you will save me
with your mighty arm.
Some people trust the power
of chariots or horses,
but we trust you, Lord God.
Others will stumble and fall,
but we will be strong
and stand firm.
I, the Lord, will protect it
and always keep it watered.
I will guard it day and night
to keep it from harm.
Proteção e fidelidade
O Senhor pelejará por vós. Fiel é o Senhor que vos guarda — Ele te protege de todo mal o tempo todo.
The Lord your God will fight alongside you and help you win the battle."
But the Lord can be trusted to make you strong and protect you from harm.
I am grateful that God always makes it possible for Christ to lead us to victory. God also helps us spread the knowledge about Christ everywhere, and this knowledge is like the smell of perfume.
I have fought well. I have finished the race, and I have been faithful.
The Lord has blessed you because you believed that he will keep his promise.
