I hope your home is filled with love and all that comes with it.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Sarah came out of her home and saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She said, \u201cI don\u2019t think I know you but you must be hungry.\u00a0 Please come in and have something to eat.\u201d Only Sara and her young daughter were home at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs the man of the house home?\u201d they asked. When she said he was not home, they would not come in.<\/p>\n

In the evening when Sarah’s husband came home, she told him what had happened.\u00a0 Jake said, \u201cGo tell them I am home, and invite them in!\u201d<\/p>\n

So Sarah went out and invited the men in.\u00a0 \u201cWe do not go into a house together,\u201d they replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy is that?\u201d she asked.\u00a0 One of the old men explained, \u201cHis 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.”<\/p>\n

Sarah went in and told Jake what was said, and he was overjoyed.\u00a0 \u201cHow nice!\u201d he said. “Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth.\u00a0 Let him come into our home and fill it with wealth!\u201d<\/p>\n

But his wife disagreed.\u00a0 \u201cMy dear, why don\u2019t we invite Success?\u201d<\/p>\n

The child had her own idea.<\/h4>\n

Their daughter Christina had been listening from the other corner of the house. Christina jumped in with her own idea:\u00a0 \u201cWould it not be best to invite Love?\u00a0 Our home would then be filled with Love!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us heed our daughter\u2019s advice,\u201d Jake said.\u00a0 \u201cGo out and invite Love to be our guest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarah went out and asked the three old men, \u201cWe would like Love to come in and be our guest.\u201d<\/p>\n

All three started walking toward the home together. Surprised, the Sarah asked, \u201cI only invited Love, why are you coming in?\u201d<\/p>\n

The old men replied together, \u201cIf you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two would have stayed out.\u00a0 But we always go with Love. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success.\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

If only we were all like the child Christina and invited Love into our homes, every home would be much better off and the world would be a better place.<\/p>\n

Let’s all invite love into our homes!<\/h4>\n
