You can check out my wife's blog for another side of this beautiful story
"Miss Trellie" is a beautiful saint in our Church of the Wildwood Fellowship. She's been home-bound for most my time as Pastor here. We have visited with her in her home regularly & our little Sam has come to love his "Granny Fudge". (And Granny Fudge loves him right back)
Miss Trellie has begun here trek home. She is leaving us & will be with Christ very soon. Miss Memory, one of our deacons, & I went to see Trellie in the hospital Thursday. Right before we left, she woke up. Her family gathered all around her & this frail woman began comforting her children, grand children, & great grand children. It was a big effort to do this & it was painful but she would not be deterred. I went to her home the next night & she was much closer to heaven. She was unable to form words or move even a little with out pain. In the middle of my visit, she opened her eyes & saw her only living son leaning over her. Again she lifted her arms to embrace & comfort her little boy who is in his 70's.
This woman is a Momma right to the end. Here she is, with the last bit of physical strength left in her, comforting her family...being the Momma.
There is no higher calling than to fully embrace the calling of Mother. Years given to the market place could never compare to investing one's life in the life of your children. Miss Trellie has over 200 family members from her seven children. She recently held the sixth generation baby in her arms.
I praise God for this godly woman who is so saturated with her role of Mother that even with her last strength, she is still being the Momma.
