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 and invite them in!" The woman went out and 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, and said pointing
to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added,
"Now go in and 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 and 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 and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of
you is Love? Please come in and be our guest." Love got up and started walking
toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady
asked Wealth and 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... -Where there is pain, I wish you
peace and mercy. -Where there is self-doubting, I wish you a renewed confidence
in your ability to work through it. -Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I
wish you understanding, patience, and renewed strength. -Where there is fear, I
wish you love, and courage.
