Zelma Griffis Story

My mama had the hands and heart of Jesus. As the only daughter at home on a farm, Mama saw her mother minister daily.washing clothes in a wash pot, canning vegetables, churning, quilting, and feeding all who needed it. Mama learned to do the same. She also watched her Poppa rise before the sun, light the wood stove, feed the animals, and eats breakfast quickly so he could be in the fields by sun-up. My mama learned about love, care, sacrifice and Jesus from parents who gave all they had to raise seven children.
From as early as I can remember, Mama was Jesus hands to us. She made dozens of quilts to bundle us up in when temperatures dropped. She sewed hundreds of dresses for three daughters to sashay about in. She baked thousands of biscuits, pies, and banana puddings. And, she made millions of tea cakes! She calmed tummies with homemade soup, feverish brows with cool cloths and Vicks, and stayed up late too many nights to count, encouraging an aimless child to finish a school project.
I watched her pour out love and care for others as well. She opened her heart and later her home to her husbands parents. She did all the same things for them that she did for us, including getting a job to help provide for their needs. She honored them and cared for them all the way to the grave. Then, she made a place in her home for her sweet, dear brother, Ray. Ray needed love and care, and she needed to give it.
Mamas servants heart compelled her to encourage others. She taught the Sunshine Ladies school Class for many years, the last age class on the way to heaven. She called, visited, and took food to everyone she could think of. She gave away tea cakes to anyone who needed a kindness or whose heart was broken. And, she crocheted family names for half of Texas. All of this until she couldn remember where her Bible was, or how to measure the recipe, or how to count stitches anymore. And, then she spent her last years deep in Alzheimers constantly asking.What should I do now?
I saw Jesus in my mamas heart. I felt Him in her hands. I heard Him in her prayers. She prayed unceasingly about every need and desire of her heart. She prayed for her family and all that she knew. And, she taught me to do the same.
And, now I realize, that Mama was only here on loan. God shared her with us and must have missed her terribly, though she talked to Him daily. Now, she is with Him and we will do the missing. All of our lives Mama have taught us about sacrifice and now the sacrifice is ours. We have given up something precious to us for the need of Someone else. Mama has been on a journey all of her life to see Jesus, and today she is. safely home.
Praise God for His infinite mercy and wondrous love. To God alone be the glory.
