Meadow Bride

August 13, 2013 By Verna Bowman 23 Comments

Nothing compares to the moment . . . In the blink of a tear I went from a bride, to mother of the bride, mother of the groom three times, to gramma of the groom.  Time passes quickly.

For the first time in years I missed VBS week at our church.  My favorite part of this special week is asking the children, “Where did you see God today?”  Their answers are displayed across tables, pinned to bulletin boards for Open House, later to become part of a proud parent’s fridge gallery.

Road to Emmaus

July 16, 2013 By Verna Bowman 9 Comments

  . . . their eyes were opened and they recognized Him.  Luke 24:31 How many times have you taken a familiar route only to wind up lost?  Lost in distraction. While driving to a destination my daughter has traveled many times, she became totally lost the other day.  Deep in prayer for a young girl in our church who is in … [Read more...]
