It’s been one of those weeks at our house (okay, it’s been a couple of those weeks). I stumbled across this quote by Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton and it brought me joy, laughter, and comfort.
My precious children stick to me like little burrs, they are so fearful of losing me again [after a trip]. The moment I shake one off one side another clings on the opposite, nor can I write one word without some sweet interruption. — St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton is especially inspiring given she became a penniless widow with five small children at the young age of 30. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, pray for all mothers who are feeling challenged in their vocations! Read more about St. Elizabeth Ann Seton: A Saint on American Soil
Thanks for this sweet reminder to hug my litte burrs right back. There will be a day when they aren’t as ‘sticky’ and I will miss it dearly.
