Weatlh, Success or Love
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 said. "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 wanted to know.
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.
"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
