I pray that I can be someone who always listens and learns from those who have more life experience than me!Miriam Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418972749843611051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21789110.post-1165444452559015162006-12-06T16:34:00.000-06:002006-12-06T16:34:00.000-06:00YES!!!As one who is in her EXTREEEEMELY late thirt...YES!!!<BR/><BR/>As one who is in her EXTREEEEMELY late thirties, I agree wholeheartedly!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and BTW, I tagged you for a meme. :) It's HeyJules' fault.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21789110.post-1165437031085178802006-12-06T14:30:00.000-06:002006-12-06T14:30:00.000-06:00Now that is an eye opener for me...

The point that I took away the first time I heard it was that you do not need to be anything other than who God has made you to be to be "hip, cool, and relevant." A total old geezer dork-wad is just as relevant and gifted to show God's love in the world as the young hip duuuu-de. Keep on sister. You are needed at any age.

Older people are a lot like diamonds in the rough; you see it, and it looks dull and worthless. But when you get past that dull surface, you have a stone that shines and sparkles, and is priceless. Great, thought provoking post.

I love this blog thing, because there are so many ages of us out there communicating. Our church has two services and unfortunately, it is pretty divided along age lines.<BR/><BR/>I found this quote today that applies to what you wrote yesterday: <BR/><BR/>Lord, teach me to listen. The times are noisy and my ears are weary with<BR/>the thousand raucous sounds which continuously assault them.<BR/>— A. W.

Oh and the jerk chicken...well the seasoning I made and used as a rub..didn't really flavor the chicken a whole lot. I am going to try it one more time but use it as a marinade instead and use chicken breasts. So, I may do that next week and then I'll let you know how it turns out.<BR/><BR/>And I agree with your post 100%. I enjoy reading the various blogs on the Christian Woman blog ring and find that the most encouraging and useful posts are written by those older and more wiser than me. <BR/><BR/>Your quilt analogy was great, btw.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15787769921654646822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21789110.post-1165416074060073682006-12-06T08:41:00.000-06:002006-12-06T08:41:00.000-06:00GB: Surely NOT Elvis!!!
