Article Description:
After shielding his toddler sister in a deadly plane crash, ten-year-old Trey Howard awoke from brain surgery asking if he had saved her. Inspired by his bravery, Eagles star A.J. Brown dedicated his Super Bowl performance to Trey, then went on to win the Lombardi trophy in last night’s game. Trey’s selflessness mirrors the higher calling of faith—living not for power or comfort but to serve others through God’s strength. When we love sacrificially, our impact endures far beyond earthly victories.
