I was struck by these images and the way that new life continues to burst forth from the dead rotting matter, which in fact provides the nutrients required for the new life to begin. Without Jesus' death we are nothing but a pile of rotting matter but because of what He did we can do the same and have new life. We might think that our lives are a brown ugly mess but Jesus uses that and brings vibrant life and colour. My prayer is that whatever situation we find ourselves in we can remember that and that we will continue to see miracles in our lives and the lives of those around us.
