The Puritan ethic of marriage was to look not for a partner whom you do love passionately at this moment, but rather for one whom you can love steadily as your best friend for life, and then to proceed with God's help to do just that. The Puritan ethic of nurture was to train up children in the way they should go, to care for their bodies and souls together, and to educate them for sober, godly, socially useful adult living. The Puritan way of home life was based on maintaining order, courtesy and family worship. Goodwill, patience, consistency and an encouraging attitude were seen as the essential domestic virtues.

Remember there was a family nearby that went to church with my friend?  They bought my friend Kathy's 2 cows after she died.  They have a neat blog.  In fact I used to look at her blog before I realized she lived near me.  Anyway, they have a herd share.  They came to get Maggie today.  She is still our cow, but they will milk her and use the milk.  We will go  and get our milk from them.  We signed an agreement.  They are sweet Christians, so we are happy about that.  Now is not a good time for us to be milking.  I am grateful to the Lord for this solution.  They came and got her today. 

Only by His merciful grace,
