LOVE - ELIXIR OF GROWTH

HOW DOES LOVE AFFECT OUR GROWTH....

Blessed are children who arrive in a home of love. Our spirits, emotions, souls and minds drink deeply from the nectar of God. It seems to be the major energy force that encourages healthy growth on all levels. Where there is an abundance of love, children grow in leaps and bounds in all areas, not only physically, but emotionally and mentally. Sickness and disease doesn't seem to bother them too much and when they do fall ill, they recover very rapidly. It fills us with vitality and a tremendous will to live and explore with a deep excitement for life in general. It is hard to bring down a man of love, they seem to have a supernatural power to overcome and remain standing through enormous storms in life. When a house is built on the foundation of love it is as solid as a rock, and not the type of rock that cracks with heat and cold. There is a relaxed openness and trust and an incredibly strong invisible bond between family members that lies and deceit from outside cannot disrupt. There are many disciplines in life, but none as powerful and correct as love. When used as a training tool all learning becomes an exciting joyful experience which promotes fast learning. There is no fear in this discipline and therefore children are extremely eager to perform, learn and please....they love to be loved, don't we all... there is no fear to ask questions, try out new things, experiment, and play around bringing much deeper development to a child. The gentleness and kindness inspires as to be pleasing and to do the best we can. Love is an enormously powerful growing medium because it allows us to soar. It is considerate and respectful and allows each to grow in their own time and own space. No strict discipline or punishment is ever needed where love is used, as it patiently and gently explains all things until the child understands it. Most "naughtiness" comes from confusion, misunderstandings and impatience, not naughtiness at all....when children are continuously occupied with interesting, exciting things and they receive the necessary attention, time and love, what is naughtiness ???? Ignorant adults that are tired, scared and irritated ???? I think so !!! So terribly sad....a child is a full time occupation until they start there schooling, hopefully as late as possible, allow them to be children as long as you can......©
