A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards
sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I don't
think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have
something to eat."
"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.
"No", she replied. "He's out."
"Then we cannot come in", they replied.
In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.
"Go tell them I am home & invite them in!"
The woman went out & invited the men in"
"We do not go into a House together," they replied.
"Why is that?" she asked.
One
of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one
of his friends, & said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and
I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in & discuss with your husband
which one of us you want in your home."
The woman went in and
told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!!",
he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come
& fill our home with wealth!"
His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"
Their
daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She
jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite
Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"
"Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife.
"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."
The woman went out & asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."
Love
got up & started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up
& followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth & Success: "I
only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"
The old men replied
together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us
would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go
with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!"
MY WISH FOR YOU...
May God's love never cease from your homes.
