Today's blog was submitted by Brother George Katsaras for the April Miracle Monday theme, and it goes really well with the experiences we shared yesterday. After you read it, we've got a question to ask you at the end.

My life is one small miracle after another. So many times throughout the day, I need to call on the Lord to help me, from finding my keys to getting a parking spot. When I pull into a crowded parking lot, I ask God, and almost immediately someone pulls out right in front of me. This might not be important to others, but when walking is difficult, finding a parking spot near my destination is major!

Today is our last day of miscellaneous Miracle Mondays, and we're sharing two experiences from Sister Teresa Pandone.

Experience 1

I wear eyeglasses, and sometimes I remove them, hook them on my blouse, and continue with my task.

One day, as I was doing yard work, I did this and continued bending over and picking up weeds and raking the grass in the yard. After some time, I noticed my glasses were not where I placed them. I searched all over and could not find them. I became quite anxious because I need them to read and drive.

As the anxiety accelerated, I began to pray and ask God to please help me locate them. I continued to search the yard again, praying all the while.

Suddenly, I had the thought to look into the barrel where I was placing all of the weeds and trash from the yard. I removed everything that I had put into that barrel, and at the bottom, I found my glasses. I began to thank and praise God for His message to me. God is so good, even in my everyday problems.

Today's Good Word is from Sister Ruth Hill. Here's what she has to say:

The 23rd Psalm is my ultimate favorite because many times it has been my only medication. And this portion of Psalm 27 has become a favorite after I heard it preached by Brother Willie Brown. He preached it with so much power and conviction that it stirred up the desire in me to make this the burning, yearning desire of my heart above all other desires. It's simply beautiful, as so many of God's words are.

Here's another fun game of Guess Who (or Guess What) from Brother Rich Nath. Send us your best guesses, and we'll post the correct answers a week from tomorrow.

Guess Who 1

• I'm from the "oldest" part of the Old Testament.
• I had many sons and daughters, but only three are mentioned by name.
• My wife made me an offer I should have refused.
• I had a great place to live but was forced out by the owner.

Who am I? (Hint, look me up in Genesis.)

We're continuing this article from yesterday, so if you didn't read Part 1, do that real quick, and continue on to today's post for the second half.

Yesterday, we quoted the Quorum of Twelve Apostles citing some sad facts about marriage failure rates. In response, the Quorum encourages us with this advice: "God's standard for marriage calls for pure devotion by each partner. Note how scriptures compare the devotion between marriage partners to the devotion between Jesus Christ and His worshippers. The devotion, the patience, the sacrifice, the love that Christ has shown for each of us are examples that we should follow in our marriages.

The complete love that first brings a couple together is a key element in God's vision of marriage. Sustaining this love cannot be left to chance. It calls for diligent attention. According to God's Word, neither husband nor wife should allow anyone or anything to take any part of that special place in their heart that belongs to their spouse. There is no room for neglect or abuse."

Recently, I read a short editorial regarding marriage. Sadly, it concluded that marriage was a dying institution. It offered numerous reasons to support this position, primarily centering on these ideas:

1. Marriage is an old concept that doesn't fit with our current generational ideas.

2. We're losing the ability to work at having loving relationships because we prefer instant gratification.

3. Marriages don't last because we expect fairytale endings without any compromise or sacrifice.

4. Marriage (especially when you're in your 20s or 30s) is absolutely ridiculous because it forces a person into a monogamous relationship

Today's Miracle Monday is from Sister Enza Pusillo. We hope it touches your heart.

As a young woman, just barely 30, I was told that I had a condition called endometriosis. This condition makes it very difficult, if not impossible, to conceive and sometimes carry children to term. Many women require extensive treatment and even surgery in order to do so. They said the older I got, the more difficult it would become.

Now, you have to imagine what news like this meant to me at the time. I was not married — not close to getting married at that point in my life — yet the one thing I had dreamed of and desired more than anything was to be a mother and have children. I had more than my share of fears and questions. So, I put my trust in God.

Today's Good Word depicts such a striking visual image. Just imagine God turning His glorious face toward you! Share your favorite scripture with us, and we'll turn it into a nifty graphic like this one. 

When I read scripture, I'm amazed by the miracles and wonder why I can't have the same things. Well, we can all have those things!

Many years ago when our sons were young, my husband was offered a job promotion that would take us out of state and away from our families, friends, and the small Atlanta Mission. It was a tremendous decision that had many pros and cons, but I especially didn't want to leave our small mission.

One afternoon as I was taking my sheets off the clothesline, I was asking God what should we do. Gideon immediately came into my mind and gave me an idea. If God could show Gideon what to do through simple fleece and dew, then why couldn't He do something similar for me?

The conversion of the Sons of Mosiah was so profound that their heart's desire was to labor to bring souls to Jesus Christ. "And thus they were instruments in the hands of God in bringing many to the knowledge of the truth, yea, to the knowledge of their Redeemer."

Their desire was so great that they were inspired to go among the Lamanites who hated the Nephites. With their father King Mosiah's permission, they undertook a great missionary outreach. "And assuredly it was great, for they had undertaken to preach the word of God to a wild and a hardened and a ferocious people; a people who delighted in murdering the Nephites, and robbing and plundering them; and their hearts were set upon riches, or upon gold and silver, and precious stones; yet they sought to obtain these things by murdering and plundering, that they might not labor for them with their own hands."

I used to make up excuses for why I shouldn't get anointed when prayer time rolled around each Sunday meeting.

My problem isn't that important.

I'm shy and don't like being the center of attention.

I don't like everyone knowing what's wrong with me.

It'll take too much time.

It'll be a downer.

Here's the worst one of all: I've been anointed before, and nothing has happened, so why ask again?

Today's Miracle Monday is from Sister Marty Jumper.

This is a testimony that tells how a little thing in my life was important to the Lord.

It was just before Christmas, and I was cleaning my house in preparation for family coming to stay with me for a holiday visit. There were so many things to get done, and I only had that day off to finish everything.

Today's Good Word is one of Sister Teresa Pandone's favorites. Thanks for sharing with us, Sister Teresa!

"Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand" (1 Samuel 17:44-45).

Have you ever had a "David and Goliath" moment? Have you come up against gigantor problems with little-to-no experience or knowledge? Have you been mocked by the behemoth size of an obstacle that says, "You'll never get past me!"

Then this quiz is for you.

I don't normally put myself out there in these blog posts, but I have been feeling really disconnected lately, and if I am feeling this way, then I wonder how many others have been in my shoes or are currently feeling this way.

Over the weekend, we went on a road trip, so I had a good amount of time to think while driving. I started questioning why I'd been feeling so exhausted and disconnected lately.

I am a go-getter, so I like identifying a problem and immediately coming up with a solution on how to fix it. It dawned on me that my relationship with God is not where it should be.
