Quote/Principle
President Hunter reminds us that miracles do not need to be magnificent, that there are miracle in our lives daily.

The first miracle by Jesus recorded in the New Testament was the turning of water into wine at the marriage at Cana. But poor, indeed, was the making of the wine in the pots of stone, compared with its original making in the beauty of the vine and the abundance of the swelling grapes. No one could explain the onetime miracle at the wedding feast, but then neither could they explain the everyday miracle of the splendor of the vineyard itself... Once we start to recognize the many miraculous and blessed manifestations of God and Christ in our lives--the everyday variety as well as restored sight to the blind and restored hearing to the deaf-- we may be truly bewildered at the unexplainable principles and processes that bring about such wonders.
Howard W. Hunter; April 1989 General Conference

Ornament
A simple jug reminds us of how simple miracles can be.  Our lives, our families, our earth are all full of daily miracles.
