In a world wrought with confusion, chaos, heartache, pain, suffering, and uncertainty…
Men are that they might have JOY!!
Sounds contradictory…
And yet the Lord has asked us to Choose Joy!
To take time and focus our minds on what is going good…
To notice how He is showing up in our stories…
And to help others see Him in their stories…
And to remember that…
He is a God of miracles!!
This month I want to focus on miracles!
–I will be sharing my thoughts based on the talk, “Behold! I Am a God of Miracles!” by Elder Rasband, Liahona, May2021, pg 109. Sometime this month I encourage you to read it!

“Miracles are divine acts, manifestations and expressions of God’s limitless power…a lifeline from heaven”
Let’s walk through this word by word…
What does divine mean? (God-like: that’s heavenly, all knowing, and powerful)
What is a manifestation? (an event, action or object that CLEARLY shows something)
So a manifestation is EVIDENCE.
What is an expression? (making known one’s thoughts)
Okay, so…
Miracles are God-like acts…
And evidence (and our brains like evidence)…
Of God’s expression of love for His children by blessing their lives (isn’t that so kind).
Hopefully you all followed that…
Miracles are an expression of God’s love for us, and evidence that He is very aware of us and wants to bring us home.
Also known as “tender mercies.”
–Can you think of some “tender mercies” you’ve had in your life? Do you often recognize these little snippets of love for you from God?
