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 crowning glory of the aged;
parents are the pride of their children.
But the love of the Lord remains forever
with those who fear him.
His salvation extends to the children’s children
Once I was young, and now I am old.
Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned
or their children begging for bread.
Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts;
let them proclaim your power.
For the Lord is good.
His unfailing love continues forever,
and his faithfulness continues to each generation.
Força e fidelidade
Mesmo na velhice darão frutos. Os cabelos brancos são coroa de glória. Deus não abandona seus filhos na idade avançada.
Even in old age they will still produce fruit;
they will remain vital and green.
They will declare, "The Lord is just!
He is my rock!
There is no evil in him!"
Gray hair is a crown of glory;
it is gained by living a godly life.
I will be your God throughout your lifetime—
until your hair is white with age.
I made you, and I will care for you.
I will carry you along and save you.
Even youths will become weak and tired,
and young men will fall in exhaustion.
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.
"But watch out! Be careful never to forget what you yourself have seen. Do not let these memories escape from your mind as long as you live! And be sure to pass them on to your children and grandchildren.
