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!!!!!!"
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.
