I started my spring cleaning the other day. I know. It’s already summer. I may have started late, but at least I started! One of the tasks on my “spring cleaning” list was to clean out my nightstand. More specifically, to clean out the junk drawer in my nightstand. Here are some of my thoughts on the task.

An Old Junk Drawer

It was just an old junk drawer,
Full of pictures, cards, and files.
I decided to go through it,
I hadn’t looked at it in such a long while.

I read kind words from family and friends,
And saw old photos of people I love.
Every item reminded me
How I’ve been blessed by God above.

I spent all afternoon going through that junk drawer,
I laughed and smiled at the good times I recalled.
By the time I had gone through it, I realized,
It wasn’t a junk drawer after all.

I hope you have a chance to go through a junk drawer soon and look at some old photos and read some cards from family and friends. It is a great way to spend an afternoon! May God bless you and the people you love.
