"Nita LaGarde, 105, was pushed down the street in her wheelchair as her nurse's 5-year-old granddaughter, Tanisha Blevin, held her hand. The pair spent two days in an attic, two days on an interstate island and the last four days on the pavement in front of the convention center.

"They're good to see," LaGarde said, with remarkable gusto as she waited to be loaded onto a gray Marine helicopter. She said they were sent by God. "Whatever he has for you, he'll take care of you. He'll sure take care of you."

And in the midst of this horror, a refreshing breath of the human spirit whose faith is in God. No whining or blaming....just gratitude and simple faith. May God bless this dear lady and may she be a lifelong example to her granddaughter.

Thought y'all might appreciate a small light in the darkness, the rest of the article notwithstanding.

May God bless this dear lady and may she be a lifelong example to her granddaughter.

Amen.

Too bad more NO residents don't have such a positive attitude. Amazing what faith in God and what HE is capable of can do! And this woman has been around long enough to see the old days of in-your-face racisim and opression. Yet she chooses to be thankful for God getting her through this.


A lot of folks could learn a real lesson from this lady. God Bless Nita LaGarde.
