I hope your home is filled with love and all that comes with it.
Sarah came out of her home and saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She said, “I don’t think I know you but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.” Only Sara and her young daughter were home at the time.
“Is the man of the house home?” they asked. When she said he was not home, they would not come in.
In the evening when Sarah’s husband came home, she told him what had happened. Jake said, “Go tell them I am home, and invite them in!”
So Sarah 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, his name is Success, and I am Love. Please discuss this with your husband and let us know who you would like in your home.”
Sarah went in and told Jake what was said, and he was overjoyed. “How nice!” he said. “Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come into our home and fill it with wealth!”
But his wife disagreed. “My dear, why don’t we invite Success?”
The child had her own idea.
Their daughter Christina had been listening from the other corner of the house. Christina jumped in with her own idea: “Would it not be best to invite Love? Our home would then be filled with Love!”
“Let us heed our daughter’s advice,” Jake said. “Go out and invite Love to be our guest.”
Sarah went out and asked the three old men, “We would like Love to come in and be our guest.”
All three started walking toward the home together. Surprised, the Sarah asked, “I only invited Love, why are you coming in?”
The old men replied together, “If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two would have stayed out. But we always go with Love. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success.”
