Another Saintly Quote

Boy Umbrella
Thanks Sue!

You should be like a little child who while it knows that its mother
is holding its sleeve walks boldly and runs all around without being distressed at a little fall or stumble; after all, it is as yet rather unsteady on its legs. In the same way, as long as you realize that God is holding onto you by your will and resolution to serve Him, go on boldly and do not be upset by your little setbacks and fails; there is no need to be put out by this provided you throw yourself into His arms from time to time and kiss Him with the kiss of charity. Go on joyfully and with your heart as open and widely trustful as possible; and if you cannot always be joyful, be at least brave and confident.
~ St, Francis De Sales
