They know that God works His miracles through His children. The stories and thoughts below were shared by Thomas S. Monson, president of the Mormons, about miracles of all kinds, past and present, but all resulting from love, God, and Christ-like service to others.

There was no visible ram in the thicket when Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac. Two heavenly personages were not yet seen when Joseph knelt and prayed.
