It is very inspiring to read your comments on what you are thankful for. You are right on and you have mentioned the VERY important things in life.
Your daddy is not only a fun daddy, but works so very hard to provide a nice home and every need for you. Your Mommy exudes more patience than I have ever seen in any one person. Together they are doing such a great job of raising you in the way and truth of the Lord. And how lucky we are to have an awesome God and to live in a country where there is freedom of worship. As I see it, the Bowes family is extremely lucky to have so many sweet and wonderful children who genuinely seem to care deeply for one another.
And yes, the animals and baseball are secondary, but they are such a blessing too!!!! Much, love, Meemom
Hi Meemom!

We are so thankful for the blessing you are to us!
We love you sooooo much!
Kyle, Lydia and Victoria, for all of us:)
I thank God for each of you!!
You all have inspired me in your faith to begin to share my faith in a blog. Gabriel helped me create a website with a blog where I am seeking God's help to proclaim His goodness and faithfulness. I am even trying some more poetry......your influence.
Thank you for your friendship!
Love,
Mrs. Eagle
