Wealth,
Success
& Love!
A woman came out of her
house and saw three old men with long white beards
sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them.
Then
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.
So, he said, "Go tell them I'm 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
pointing to another one he said, "This man is Success, and I am Love." Then he
added, "Now, go 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 over-joyed. "How nice!" he said. "Since that's the case, let us invite in Wealth. Let him come in and fill
our home with wealth!"
His wife disagreed.
"Why don't we invite Success?" But, their daughter was listening from the corner
of the room.! She jumped in with her own suggestion. "Wouldn't it be better to
invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"
The wife agreed.
"Then, let us heed our daughter's advice," said the husband to his wife. "Go out
and invite Love in to be our guest."
The woman went out
and asked the three old men, "Which one of you is Love?
Please come in and be our guest." Love got up and started walking toward
the house. Then the other two also got up and
followed him.
Surprised, the lady
asked Wealth and Success, "I only ! invited in Love, as you
directed. Why are you all coming in?"
T he old men replied together, "If you had invited only Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed.
However, since you invited Love... wherever He goes, we
go with him... because wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth
and Success!"
