Apple Green
Family life today is in some ways easier to make happy and full, and in other ways is difficult in the extreme, much to draw the attention of the young that may not lead them anywhere good. Distractions are often close at hand that could - if allowing it - destroy happiness and cause much disruption to the smooth running of family life, without being recognised by the child or the parent for the unhappiness and the cost that it incurs. Much depends upon the basic desires of parents and children and what is taught the children before the age of five years, and also what is persuaded by the parents when modelling the future of those following in their footsteps.
It is not always what is taught or is not taught that turns the brain to secure the path upon which the whole life will be based. This lovely colour of apple green may not be known for its existence; lack of understanding from parents to children is often the cause of the child's life being unhappy and going astray, the unwanted allowing self-depression, a dark colour to move to disappointment for others of the family and often themselves.
The power of love in the family
Could apple green be seen here and there it would make a considerable difference to the happiness of the family. Should the colour be felt it would have a guiding factor of
love benefiting each one and being of aid to everything constructive that each one would delight to have present.
From early babyhood the child's life is fashioned, not only by the mental observation of what could help in every way the aura of the child when in the cot awaiting basic attention, but also by being taught by authority and disciplined. This is not by any means the best guidance the young mother might have as the baby itself has a subconscious mind in which it adds to its store of wisdom gathered in incarnations past. Some of its wisdom might bless and help the parents if taking notice of the way the child develops its consciousness, being able to learn or being against tuition as discipline is made the order by which each one lives and is moulded in readiness to affect life in any particular way. Whilst teaching what is necessary for the future, schools have very little understanding of the finer points of life, affecting other people perhaps more than affecting the self.
Teachers or parents might often say they have been taught when young by disciplinary action. The delight of many teachers in my school days was the cane, that whistled its threats and was wielded heavily on one that was just suspected of doing wrong or not being able to answer a problem when the brain was already ruined by brutality at home. I have seen the ear of a boy twisted until he could get no higher than standing upon his desk.
The future to them is very clear
The parents not having basic food and clothing could not protect the child from the ribald jests and words of children who had all that other children had not.
The shaping of the present is the foundation of the future, and when parents teach unhappiness and pain the future is based upon the nature similarly founded. Strong is the infant that is not tempted to follow their parents but follow a path separate to them, the value not the same as the parent but adding what is learned to the basic foundation of their lives that are passed; the future to them is very clear.
It would appear that I have said little about the love a family can have, joy in coming together and being at one in mind. The apple green, love in a family is sealed and made prominent not only to serve itself, but more of the widening family, happiness being assured.
Worry and anxiety working against the colours are of the darker shades and become the overshadowing, the driving force of ill health and a disturbed confidence, giving little opportunity to draw love and to bless it when at hand.
One building the colours is often made the target, and being a menial, everyone taking advantage but giving little appreciation to bless. Relief can come in the end after proving the colour is there and is not easily lost or changed; its increase brings hope and the happiness the nature will inspire.
