Wealth, Success, and Love
~Author Unknown~
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. "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!"
