The Tabernacle Community

Dear Partners,

Tuesday my life was punctuated by "phone calls" from McCain, Obama, Hilliary and 5 or 6 others! Gratefully they have now moved to Pennsylvania. I read Psalm 2 again and wonder if the Lord is looking down right now and laughing at us. Whoever is our next president is going to need many prayers.

I appreciate all your concerns, prayers and financial support. As partners' circumstance change, and some are called to Heaven many are not able to stay with me financially. But I trust the much needed prayers are still there. And I do thank those of you who can help with the financial support and keep me living in my home.

My sons greatly bless me and since I have always told them "no nursing home for me", I discuss my major plans with them. Our house has begun to look shabby and I don't think Floyd would have let it happen. We decided to take funds from savings and after 14 years I am going to have it repainted and some repairs done. Hopefully I can work some outside so the yard can be a testimony to God's beautiful creation.

Great answers to prayer. I no longer have a blood clot and not as much pain. My paper work is getting under control. A dear Wycliffe friend helped with my taxes and I already have gotten back a refund. Weakness is still a major concern and I am pushing my physical strength as much as I can to try to overcome it. I worked several days cleaning the garage and working with plants. I don't work long at a time but it seems to make a difference.

Floyd and I always thought that grieving would last about 3 years and then life would be easier. I don't know where we got that idea, but after three and a half years I find that I miss Floyd more than ever. So many things I wish I had done differently..but I know that is of Satan because he wants to pull me down. I just ask the Lord to help me remember the privileged life we had together for 57 years , that all is forgiven and He still has things for me to do. We still have many young people in and out, and I guess I no longer see their tattoos! These are precious ones and I just want to love them to the Lord.

God's special blessings on you all, love Millie and crew (Jordan, Snoopy and Fido)
