Thoughts on a rainy day

I enjoy the rain a lot even though sometimes it leaves me feeling gloomy. I often notice that it has been on some of the rainiest days that I have learned some of the greatest lessons.

I don't have anything to say about life that someone hasn't already told you and the things that I do say to people sometimes i think go un listened to because I'm so young and still new to this whole life thing.

I mean come one what does a Newlywed truly know about marriage, what does a childless woman know about being a parent, what does a newly college graduate know about finding a real job? Well maybe i know something about the job thing.

The bible does say that the 'elder teach the younger' but then Paul also says to Timothy to "not let them look down on you because you're young.'

Is it possible for the young oppitimistic newlyweds to teach the older married ones something about hope for the future? In good times and in bad? Sickness and in health? Richer or poorer?

Is it possible for the childless homes to teach the ones with children something about parenting...like why their homes have children?

Or what about that newly college graduate eagerly searching for that job?

I think it's easy for me to look on those that are younger and say "They have no idea what their in for. The things they worry about are so trivial to what we have to worry about.'

But are they really....

God grows us all, takes us all through stages, he gives us all are different life lessons at different times....

So why can't we just see the value of those stages in others lives and re-learn something from them....Oh,because maybe we really can't teach an old dog new tricks? Or can we?

I'm not making much sense, i'll shut up now....just some random thoughts on a rainy day.
