| LET US INVITE.... 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!"
Pass
this story on to inspire others to invite Love
into their lives!
