Love – The most sought after

Where love is, there God is !  Where God is, there is everything you want.

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men . . .

. . . with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not know who they were. 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, 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 said.If 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 ten year old daughter suggested. "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!" "Let us heed our daughter's advice," said the husband who loved his daughter more than anybody 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: “You said only one of you would come.  How is it that all are coming ? 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!!!!!!"
