Dia dos avós
Os avós são tesouros vivos de sabedoria e fé. A Bíblia honra os mais velhos e celebra a transmissão de fé entre gerações — dos avós aos netos e destes aos que virão.
A bênção dos avós
A coroa dos velhos são os filhos dos filhos. A misericórdia de Deus é de geração em geração sobre os que o temem.
Grandchildren are the crown of the elderly,
and the pride of children is their fathers.
But from eternity to eternity
the Lord’s faithful love is toward those who fear him,
and his righteousness toward the grandchildren
I have been young and now I am old,
yet I have not seen the righteous abandoned
or his children begging for bread.
One generation will declare your works to the next
and will proclaim your mighty acts.
For the Lord is good, and his faithful love endures forever;
his faithfulness, through all generations.
Força e fidelidade
Mesmo na velhice darão frutos. Os cabelos brancos são coroa de glória. Deus não abandona seus filhos na idade avançada.
They will still bear fruit in old age,
healthy and green,
to declare, "The Lord is just;
he is my rock,
and there is no unrighteousness in him."
Gray hair is a glorious crown;
it is found in the ways of righteousness.
I will be the same until your old age,
and I will bear you up when you turn gray.
I have made you, and I will carry you;
I will bear and rescue you.
Youths may become faint and weary,
and young men stumble and fall,
but those who trust in the Lord
will renew their strength;
they will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not become weary,
they will walk and not faint.
"Only be on your guard and diligently watch yourselves, so that you don’t forget the things your eyes have seen and so that they don’t slip from your mind as long as you live. Teach them to your children and your grandchildren.
