| Wealth, 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 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. > >> 1"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 yourability 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.
