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.
Children’s children are the crown of old men, and the honour of the children are their fathers.
But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon those that fear him, and his righteousness unto the children’s children,
I have been young and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
One generation shall praise thy works to another and shall declare thy mighty acts.
He
For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endures to 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 shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be vigorous and flourishing
to show that the Lord is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
Old age is a crown of glory if it is found in the way of righteousness.
And even to your old age I am he, and even to grey hairs I will carry you; I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will deliver you.
The young men faint and are weary; the children stumble and fall;
but those that wait for the Lord shall have new strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Therefore, take heed to thyself and keep thy soul diligently lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life, but teach them to thy sons and thy sons’ sons.
