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 glory of children is their father.
But the mercy of the Lordis from everlasting to everlasting
On those who fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,
I have been young, and now am old;
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his descendants begging bread.
One generation shall praise Your works to another,
And shall declare Your mighty acts.
For the Lordis 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 bear fruit in old age;
They shall be fresh and flourishing,
To declare that the Lord is upright;
Heis my rock, and thereis no unrighteousness in Him.
The silver-haired head is a crown of glory,
If it is found in the way of righteousness.
Even to your old age, I am He,
And even to gray hairs I will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry, and will deliver you.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And teach them to your children and your grandchildren,
