Today, we want to simply acknowledge God's love for us. All of us have so many testimonies of thanks and miracles that have shaped our lives, and today we want to take a minute to praise God!

Check out this short video of your fellow brothers and sisters from around the church, and rejoice in the joy on their faces.

Whether the weather is still brisk and chilly or warm and sunny where you live, we hope you enjoy this testimony by Sister Teri-Lyn Tunno. If you would like to praise God for something He did for you, please send us your story!

I want to share an answered prayer. Even though it may seem small to most, it meant so much to me and is something I will never forget.

One evening about 10 years ago, my younger sister was working late at her second job at the local mall. Since my brother-in-law was out of town, our dad was babysitting my 3-year-old nephew all day. When I got home from my job, I saw the weather report predicting a band of snow coming our way. As it began to fall, everything turned white.

I recently heard about a car accident in which a driver ran a red light because he was texting. He collided with another vehicle and injured the passengers. Whenever we hear about something like this, we generally shake our heads, not only at the recklessness involved but also because it happens to be against the law in most states to text while you're driving.

Today's military-themed Miracle Monday was submitted by Sister Mary Ann Heaps. There is still time to submit your miracles for this month. Please contact us with your story.

I want to honor the Lord for protecting my late husband Rusty Heaps in battle during his service with the U.S. Navy during WWII.

May is a good month for me to tell this story – May 1 is “May Day” (an international stress signal), May 8 is VE Day, May 16 was Rusty’s birthdate, May 17 is Armed Forces Day and May 30 is the traditional Memorial Day.

Here's a little something to spread the love. Can you say "It is well with me and my soul" today? 

I am not a morning person, but rather one of those people described as "Instant human. Just add coffee." Before my initial java intake level reaches the bottom line shown in this photo, I consider the phrase "Good morning" an oxymoron.

Good news. I do not stay in this negative state long. I perk up, but it is a slow, unwinding process that cannot be rushed for people wired like me. So against my very nature, I get up an hour before I need to get ready for work, as every fiber of my being cries to stay in bed until the last possible second.

Today, we're sharing an experience contributed by Sister Enza Traina Pusillo. This reminds us to always take matters to God in prayer first.

This happened when my son Sal was 10 years old. He was sitting at the kitchen table after coming home from school. My back was to him since I was putting away some groceries. He was directly behind me, sitting at the end of the kitchen table between the table and my Formica counter top. As we talked about his day, he told me he was hungry. With my back still to him, I told him to grab a piece of fruit from the bowl on the table and that I would be making dinner shortly.

"Mommmm! Tommy cut all my doll's hair off!"

"Tommy! That's not nice! Say you're sorry."

(Giggling and mischievous) "Sorry."

"Mom, he's NOT sorry."

"Tommy, say you're sorry again — and mean it."

Today's Miracle Monday is an oft-shared experience by Brother Otto Henderson. We're happy to share this with you to kick off our month of military-related miracles. If you haven't sent yours in, there's still time! Click here to share your story.

When I was in the army during World War II, I was stationed overseas in England, and the military needed to transport us over to Holland and Germany. I remember all the men were all gathered in ranks in a big field, and an officer was speaking to us. I remember I was in the third row on the left side, and just a few yards away from were a row of military gliders. The officer told us that pretty soon, we'd all be flying on those gliders.

Today is May 2, and you can use the date to remember today's scripture because it's comprised entirely of 2's: 2 Nephi 2:2.

My husband watches as I get another piece of dark chocolate out of the freezer. "Don't judge me," I say with a smile as I nibble on the corner.

Saying "don't judge" is really popular right now in a casual, slangy sort of way, but what does it really mean? What does scripture say about judgment? Most importantly, is judging someone right or wrong?

What do you think?

Sister Lydia Lombardo submitted these powerful experiences years ago for the Detroit Branch #1 history. They are about her mother, Sister Maria (Gaetana) Molisani. They probably date back to the 1930s, and they are a strong reminder of how the Lord honors faith at any time, under any circumstances. Thanks to Sister Rosanne Champine for sending these in.

I could write volumes on how the Lord worked with our family. A healing that always stood out in my mind while growing up was a miracle my mother experienced:

"Help! I want to read the scriptures more, but there are so many books and chapters, and I'm not sure where to start!"

Drawing closer to the Lord through the word of God is so applicable to our lives, but sometimes we struggle to fully dig into the word because — let's face it — there's so much in there! Here are a few suggestions to develop our studying habits:

Today is our last week of Miscellaneous Miracles, and we are sharing the testimony of Sister Lydia Link. Next month we're asking that you submit military testimonies. Please click here to share your story. (We haven't received any so far!)

Miracles are not only things of the past, but are with us today. Before I relate the miracle we experienced, it is necessary for me to describe the layout of the location in which it took place.

We hope you enjoyed this week's mini theme of answered prayer. Whether you're deep in the valley and trying to figure out what God is doing in your life or you're on the mountain enjoying a victory, it is important to remember who to go to when we have a need and who to thank when we receive.
