A little late to write this, but two years ago today, Maria and Stevey Joy prayed and asked Jesus to come into their hearts. I am so thankful that God gave me that time with Maria. Maria, I can't wait to play football with you in God's BIG BIG House. I miss you and I will love you always.
In honor of Maria, I'll post a sneak peak of the Maria's Big House Of Hope Shirt, and The Maria's flower shirts. The neat thing about these shirts...All the proceeds of these shirts will go to Maria's Big House of Hope, named after Maria. The story is even printed on the inside front of the shirt. I wanted a way for her artwork to carry on, and for a cause. All of these shirts plus much more, coming to the new Show Hope on line store! The pictures on the on-line store will show more detail. Keep checking, it should be in the next week or so.
Tanks again for loving us through these tough days, a journey never wanted, but trying to steward well,
Hugs,
Mary Beth

Historical names for February include the Anglo-Saxon terms Solmonath (mud month) and Kale-monath (named for cabbage) as well as Charlemagne's designation Hornung. In Finnish, the month is called helmikuu, meaning "month of the pearl"; when snow melts on tree branches,

Mary Beth,
Somehow Father God has led me to Steven's CD beauty will rise and just became informed of your loss. I too am missing my child, I know where he is, but my heart still aches for his presence. As I saw in your writings, you had mentioned it getting harder. I would agree. My Cameron left us 1 1/2 years ago. Sept. 17, 2008 and I'm just now really doing some greiving. Steven's CD and your story is helping with that and for that I'm greatful.
I too, would like to know how to get Maria's t-shirt. "Maria's big house" or "show hope" I've looked all over the internet and can not locate them.
Sending love your way,
Darlene Dytche
Cameron's mom

Whay wonderful news about your daughters! Love the pictures. I just wanted to let you know what an inspiration your family is-- we have adopted and are adopting again. Thank you blogging. I just found it and look forward to reading more.

Your words are so perfect and true: A journey never wanted, but trying to steward well.
You are an amazing example of that in actuality. Thank you!

Being an absent-minded scatter brain most of the time in my busy, crazy life I am surprised by how often I think to pray for you and especially for your son. I've wondered how he is doing. Sorry to ask in a blog, but don't know how to contact you personally. Because of an accident in our family later the same year, I have thought of him many times. If there is anything specific I could pray about for him please email (enkagape@aol.com). We have traveled through adoption of our daughter listening to Steven's music and now share pain through music as well. Thank you for the gifts you both give to all of us.

I have to tell you that when we saw your boys here in Tulsa, by biggest boy bought one of the Caleb shirs and my younger son, my Caleb, wanted to wait to get one of the show hope shirts. They are so precious. He can't wait to wear it proudly. They have loved show Hope's ministry ever since we had memorials for their baby brother Samuel given to show hope 16 months ago. It holds a special place in all of our hearts. Mary Beth, you are continually in my prayers. You are an encouragement to me. I am sure the road of writing your book has to be incredibly difficult at times, but it will bless so many. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy:) Praying for your heart today!

I had to write and tell you the boys did a wonderful job up here in Maine tonight!!! I was really sad that I had just read that you were looking for pictures of them in concert, and somehow I didn't know they would be there tonight so I didn't take my camera. But, their words spoken and sung, touched my heart. It was such a blessing!
