15 And now, O all ye that have imagined up unto yourselves a god who can do no miracles, I would ask of you, have all these things passed, of which I have spoken? Has the end come yet? Behold I say unto you, Nay; and God has not ceased to be a God of miracles.
16 Behold, are not the things that God hath wrought marvelous in our eyes? Yea, and who can comprehend the marvelous works of God?
17 Who shall say that it was not a miracle that by his word the heaven and the earth should be; and by the power of his word man was created of the dust of the earth; and by the power of his word have miracles been wrought?
18 And who shall say that Jesus Christ did not do many mighty miracles? And there were many mighty miracles wrought by the hands of the apostles.
19 And if there were miracles wrought then, why has God ceased to be a God of miracles and yet be an unchangeable Being? And behold, I say unto you he changeth not; if so he would cease to be God; and he ceaseth not to be God, and is a God of miracles.
20 And the reason why he ceaseth to do miracles among the children of men is because that they dwindle in unbelief, and depart from the right way, and know not the God in whom they should trust.
21 Behold, I say unto you that whoso believeth in Christ, doubting nothing, whatsoever he shall ask the Father in the name of Christ it shall be granted him; and this promise is unto all, even unto the ends of the earth.
I add my testimony to Mormon's testimony of miracles. They exist, they do happen, but we need to have faith that they can and will happen in our lives. A lot of the time we have miracles happen in our lives day after day, however, we don't acknowledge or recognize them as miracles. In the bible dictionary is says that, "Miracles should not be regarded as deviations from the ordinary course of nature so much as manifestations of divine or spiritual power. Some lower law was in each case superseded by the action of a higher." Miracles are Divine or spiritual power. God is in our lives everyday! Sounds like a miracle to me. We are able to see a being greater than we are help and protect us. Plus he gives us what we need. I know that miracles were never wrought without prayer, felt need, and faith. I hope that we all can notice the miracles in our lives. Not just the incredible, almost unbelievable miracles; but the little miracles that we receive each and everyday. As we notice those miracles I can promise you all that our faith in miracles and the power of he who is mightier than we will increase. I know that miracles have not, and will not cease. For God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He was a God of miracles in the past. He is a God of miracles now and he will be in the future as well. Take these things into your heart and pray earnestly unto God to help you notice those miracles. If you do so he will help you. Have a happy Thanksgiving family and friends back home and in my recent homes, and also to those in Worland, Wyoming. God Bless.

I think you must have read my mind somehow. I have been thinking about miracles for the past few days. I needed to read this. Love you.
