About a week or two ago, my daughter took down all her Christmas decorations, storing them away for another year. All, that is, except one - a chalkboard on the mantle. You see, it is erasable - so it can be sketched on every now and again to just change it to the appropriate "theme" of the season. So, the chalkboard remains. It was interesting to me because she posted a photo on Instagram showing this cleaned slate - with the thoughts of her hardly being able to wait to see what would come next. I think we might just take a lesson from my daughter - for our lives have the ability of being made "clean slates", made ready for the next season in our lives. I think we sometimes don't remember this part of how God sees our sin - erased, totally gone, no sign of it having been there. This is the basis of grace - the removal of all which hinted of the first, and the readiness to be "written upon" anew with the freshness of the next "season"...
