For the Puritans the husband was the family pastor, responsible for channeling the family into religion, taking them to church, catechizing the children, teaching them the faith, examining the family after the sermon to check retention and understanding, filling any gaps along the way, leading family worship and setting a godly example in all manners of living.

"COULD THIS BE ME"
 
 
I forgot my Lord in the summertime
Just the time I was needed most.
I was not away, but on each Lord's Day
I just failed to be at my post.
I forgot my church in the summertime
And lazily lay in bed.
While the faithful few had my work to do,
I was spiritually dead.
I forgot my offering in the summertime
When He needed it most of all.
While my cash was spent,
I was pleasure bent,
Just off duty for God until fall.
I forgot my soul in the summertime,
Got along without spiritual food.
While my Lord on high sent me blessings,
I showed Him naught but ingratitude.
If my Lord should come in the summertime
When from duty to God I'm free,
Wonder what I'll do when my life is through,
If by chance He should forget me.

Psalms 42:1- As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God.
Jesus is an ever present help in time of trouble Psalms 46:1
No matter what our lives are like, no matter what we may be going through,
Jesus is the one thing we can count on.
He never tires of us and he won't change. Jesus never fails us, nor does he fail to love us even in our worst times...
Jesus is there my friends..Though people let us down,
Jesus NEVER WILL FORSAKE US NEITHER WILL HE LEAVE US.
WE can trust and lean on Jesus 24 hours a day.
For Jesus never sleeps nor slumbers. He won't never fail us. He is faithful.
