Cleaned off Master bedroom nightstand
Should have gotten much further than I did...

One MAJOR interuption,
Found a little rubberbanded wad of folded papers, was going to toss it, but noticed how neatly it was put together so I opened the rubberband and noticed one of my married daughters handwriting.

Each piece of paper had been carefully torn either at the top or middle or bottom of a page into 2 inch strips. I opened one and read it. It was a prayer of thanksgiving for the Lord's provision in her life. I opened another, and another, I was compelled on by the snippets of her life and the praises that flowed from her innocent heart. One prayer of praise about money for a prom dress, another about a strained relationship with a close friend, another a praise for her youth leader and her youth group. One by one she had folded her praises and tucked them into a black rubberband, they spanned three or four years of simple praises from her heart to the heart of God. The very last one was about her new found relationship with the young man she ended up marrying. I folded them back into place, her teen years all wrapped into a single black rubberband, that simply that quickly. I will give them to her the next time she comes home. I can't throw that little wad away.
