First Lady: Lillian Meile

"Praise God from whom all blessings flow!  Jesus is the center of my joy, and I give Him all praise, honor, and glory!  I believe that when God created me it was with a purpose and a plan.  He saw the days ahead and knew every struggle, every tear, and every triumph.  His proactive love has allowed nothing to come into my life that we couldn’t handle together.  He has blessed me with His grace and mercy to be a conqueror.

"I have lived in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania all my life and formerly worked for the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture for over 30 years.  I retired in 2007, and currently I am working on a degree in psychology.  I greet my professional challenges with the same Jesus joy that I greet each waking day.  My Jesus joy is the secret of my successful stress-free living.

"I have been married for eighteen years to the Reverend Dr. Charles R. Meile, Jr.  I have a beautiful daughter and a beautiful, bright, and intelligent granddaughter who brings me much joy.   I am confident that she is destined to do great things with her life.

"If there is one thing that I could pass on to the world, it would be to live each day as if it were your last.  Don’t waste time on the 'woe it’s me,' but focus on the goodness of Jesus.  That is what makes me smile!  I have been told that my smile can light up a room.  To that I say, 'To God be the glory.'”

“And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, and being transformed into His likeness with every-increasing glory…”  II Corinthians 3:18
