Guest Post: Attending to Details for Joey

Dear Friends,

Many of you already know the story of Baby Joey.  In the middle of their pregnancy, Matt and Marie Howe learned their precious baby boy was not going to live very long on earth once he was born.  Joseph Matthew Howe entered and left this world on October 23, 2012 after spending a little over an hour with his family.

The Howes are overjoyed at being Joey’s parents, having him baptized and confirmed, and being so intimately connected with a little saint in Heaven.  Their beautiful perspective on this whole experience is a testament to God’s ability to work through suffering and the power or prayer.  We serve a good God. 

We ourselves have been encouraged, challenged—and at times—moved to tears at the witness to life that the Howes are. We want to contribute in a small way to the life of saint Joey and lift part of the financial burden off of the Howe family.  We have heard from a lot of people who are interested in helping too.

Matt and Marie have offered us the opportunity to attend to a small detail of Joey’s life and form a closer connection to our newest intercessor. Would you like to help us pay for the grave marker for Joseph Matthew?

Your contribution would honor the loving sacrifices they have made and their “yes” to God.  We can’t help but think of Joey asking graces to be poured out for the love extended to him and his family.

If you wish to contribute, you can give online through the Paypal link on the right.

Please continue to lift up their family in prayer.  The blessings are just beginning!  Joseph Matthew, pray for us!

 In Christ,

Jennifer Sands and Carrie  Schmitt
