From my inbox...
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!!!!!!"
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 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.
