In early April, Brother Jeremy Schroder and I were ordained into the ministry in the Fort Worth, Texas, Branch.

As the ordinations began, Brother Jeremy and I had our feet washed, and then the ministry encircled us to pray for God's Spirit and power to be evident in the ordinations. When the brothers stood and encircled us, Brother Paul Liberto was almost directly in front of me, with Brother Juan de la Cruz to his right. As I sat in the chair with my head down, I opened my eyes a little and could tell that the brothers were close together. I didn't necessarily make out shoe types — there were a lot of tears in my eyes — but knew that there wasn't much space between the brothers.

For today's Miracle Monday, we asked Sister Rachel Cotellesse to share the remarkable story of her youngest son.

Our family has been blessed with many, many miracles. One miracle that happened, however, drastically changed the course of our lives.

As a mother, one of the things that I prayed daily for my children was that they would have joy planted deep in their hearts. When our son, Michael, was very young, we noticed that he struggled with a multitude of emotional issues that affected him and all of us daily. There was not a lot of joy in our home.

For Miracle Monday, we're bringing you this beautiful Blessing Bit that appeared in the March 2019 issue of The Gospel News. After reading it, let's all thank God for the opportunity to live another day.

On September 27, 2018, I was admitted to the hospital for shortness of breath. On October 1, I stopped breathing and was placed on a respirator. 

While in this state, I had a dream in which I found myself in a wooden crate that had fallen out from the hospital. 

Today's Miracle Monday is a hot one submitted by Brother Donny Perrello.

Here’s a miracle that happened to our son, Jayson, on March 28, 2019. Jayson lives in Alabama and works as a fire fighter/EMT, and God spared his life on this particular night, no doubt about it.

The report said that upon initial arrival, the building was still fully intact, and the chief decided an interior attack was possible. Minutes into the attack with five fire fighters inside, the chief noticed the roof was moving like a wave in the ocean. Per protocol, the horns blared on the fire trucks to alert the interior attack teams to vacate the building. Unfortunately, they did not hear the horns.

July 17, 2016 was a warm and sunshiny day, and my desire was to mow my lawn, but I did not feel well that early morning. I had severe heartburn and nausea, so I decided to lay down for a while and hopefully wake up later feeling much better.

I slept quite a few hours into the late evening. Once I awoke, I felt a strange feeling in my chest, like my heart was flipping, and I had the hot and cold sweats. I had to wrestle with myself over the notion of calling an ambulance. I did not want to call unnecessarily.

Today's Miracle Monday comes to us from Sister Suzanne Beeman. Enjoy!

One evening, I was cruising down a very dark road in my neighborhood that I have driven hundreds of times. This time, my mind was still on work. All of a sudden, my right foot slammed on the brake. Well, I immediately thanked God that no one was behind me.

Seeing that I was in no danger of causing an accident, I chuckled at myself, wondering why my foot decided to separate from the pack and have a mind of its own.

Today's Miracle Monday is a miraculous incident submitted by Sister Angeline Young.

One morning while driving home from a long midnight shift, I was approaching a stoplight and became concerned and distracted by a group of kids riding their bikes in a dangerous area onto an expressway.

I was distraught by the idea of their safety being compromised by cycling in an area that was prohibited to anything but motor vehicles. I stopped paying attention to the road, and when I looked back at the wheel, the light in front of me had turned red, and I was seconds away from a fast-paced collision.

Today's Miracle Monday is a follow-up from Sister Mary Ann Heaps on a special fasting and prayer effort that occurred in her branch.

"This is the confidence we have in him: that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us." (1 John 5:14)

In reading the above scripture, do we think to ourselves, "According to His will … It would sound more assuring if that phrase was left out." Is that phrase inserted to bring doubt as we pray, thinking it may not be His will, or does it give us more determination to pray with greater faith in knowing He can and will grant us our desire?

For today's Miracle Monday, we're bringing you two quick testimonies of God's protection on the road.

While I was driving on one of our major highways going about 55 mph, I was hit by a tractor trailer. I ended up in front of it, and it was kind of pushing me. Then I wrapped around the other side of it, facing the opposite direction. No cars were coming, which was a miracle. Then suddenly my car came to a complete stop without hitting the divider. The Lord stopped my car. The Lord spared me from a major accident! With just a scratch on my car.

Today's Miracle Monday comes to us from Sister Denise DiFalco-Dickson, and we hope you enjoy this testimony of healing.

After a few weeks of suffering from the flu, my husband, Brother Harold, went to wake me up on January 21, 2019. He said I didn't have my bearings about me and that I wasn't making any sense. I still don't recall this day.

Today's Miracle Monday is a road miracle that comes to us from Sister Bethany Darr.

A recent blog article reminded me of something God did for me in January 2015.

At the time, I was living at my sister's house in Pennsylvania. It had rained the previous night, and then the temperature dropped significantly. As I walked out to my car early in the morning to go to work, I had a very bad feeling — something urging me to just call off. I fell several times just trying to get to my car because the whole ground was covered with a sheet of ice.

Growing up in Maine, I was used to driving in harsh weather conditions, however I had never attempted to drive on pure ice and didn’t know at that time that it's impossible to drive on. I kept telling myself that I would be fine because I just got new tires on the car. (I know, it wasn’t my best moment of judgment!)

Today's Miracle Monday is a miraculous experience that we took from a sermon preached by the late Brother Joseph Calabrese. Thanks to Sister Bonnie Smith, we can even share with you the original audio excerpt of the sermon in which Brother Joe shares this story so you can hear him tell it in his own words.

The audio player appears just below the written summary. (Subscribers who are reading on email might have to click on the title of this post and go to the website in order to listen.)

As Brother Joe was preaching this sermon, he was making a case for how the gospel was established by Christ in Jerusalem and then established by Christ in America. He then went on to discuss how Jesus Christ restored the gospel after a period of apostasy.

Today's Miracle Monday is a testimony from Sister Terri Nath. What do you make of the twist at the end of this story?

After reading a recent Miracle Monday, I recalled a similar experience I had over 10 years ago, one snowy morning in February.

I was on my way to the doctor and felt I could make it safely since I had 4-wheel drive. Even though I was going slow, I lost control of my Jeep on a sharp bend and ended up in the hill side. Because of the bend, I couldn't see if anyone was coming towards me and was afraid to back out.

I began to pray and ask the Lord what I should do.

Today's Miracle Monday, sent to us by Sister Diana Houlihan, describes a close call that God helped her dodge.

I had a wonderful boss at Bon Secours Hospital when I worked in Central Sterile. Joanne made sure all of her ladies were able to sit in with the nursing staff as they took supplemental courses to keep their nursing skills updated. The hospital provided the courses without charge. She noticed that a couple of us did very well on testing and told us about a program whereby we could become operating room techs. I started taking a class at a college located in Detroit.

Happy New Year's Eve! Today's Miracle Monday is a testimony of divine protection, submitted by Sister Cindy Henderson. We pray that wherever tonight takes you — church? yay! — you'll be safe and with those you love.

Last summer, I was driving with my grandchildren from Canada to Michigan for our Wednesday night MBA service. While driving on the expressway, I noticed a strange-looking sky with a very dark cloud shelf in front of us. It had been a hot, humid day, but no storms had been forecasted.

I exited the highway to make my way towards the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel and was encompassed by heavy rains. After going through customs, I asked my grandchildren to be very quiet because the storm had intensified, and I needed to fully concentrate on the road and storm conditions. Driving rain made the long trip more difficult. I couldn't see much beyond and around our vehicle, but I knew we couldn't stop anywhere, so I prayed and continued ahead.
