We had to say good bye to our Nannie yesterday. She passed away on Friday. Nannie was a great lady and a great inspiration to our family. She was a very spiritual lady and loves Jesus more than any one that I know. I will never forget her! Her favorite song was "Victory in Jesus" and we sang in going in to her service yesterday and leaving. As we were walking in I could hear her singing it!

Nannie inspired everyone in her family as well as everyone she came in contact with. She taught children Sunday School for 40 years. I will never forget all of the family dinners at Nannies house with the big meals including the Apple and Orange Cake, Chocolate pecan pie and her famous Macaroi and Cheese- just to mention a few! After we finished stuffing our face we would all gather around the TV and watch football or either go out in her yard and play football. There are so many memories with our Nannie and we will always remember her!

Nannie will greatly be missed and never be forgotten!

I love you Nannie!

Footprints in the Sand

By Mary Stevenson

One night a man had a dream.

He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.

For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: onebelonging to him, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, helooked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed that many times along the path of his lifethere was only one set of footprints.

He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and hequestioned the Lord about it.

"Lord, You said that once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one setof footprints.

I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."

The Lord replied,"My son, My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you.

During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, itwas then that I Carried You."

Dear God- I know that you will carry us through this most difficult time in our lives and you will never leave us. We are praying that you will give us strength and guidance to make it through each and every day without our precious Carter. Life is so precious and so fragile. And through all of this one of the things you have shown me is that we should not take any thing for granted. we could have something one day and the next day it can be gone. Live each day as it is your last and take time to stop and tell the people you care about and love how much they mean to you. How many times did i take for granted the little kicks and "punches" that Carter would give me or the morning , noon and night sickness that i would complain about...... I would have all of that 10 fold to have my baby back in my arms now. but , i know he is in better hands now. I love you and so grateful that you gave your Son to die on the cross for us. Please tell my son, Addison Carter White that he will always be my sweet angel and i love him more than words can express . In Jesus Name- Amen
