Wealth, Success & Love

April 12th 2008 17:28
One day a woman answered a knock on the door of her little family home. To her great surprise, she saw three ancient and wise-looking men with long white beards and flowing gowns standing on her doorstep.

Three wise me
After a brief pause, one of the men said, ‘Greetings. My name is Success, the one in golden robe is Wealth and the one in the Pink robe is Love.


Each one of us has a gift for you, your husband and children. We would like to come in and deliver our great gifts to your family.’

The woman said, ‘Oh thank you. Please do come in.’

Success answered, ‘You must choose which one of us you would like to invite in first as we can only come in and give our gifts to you and your family one at a time.’

So the woman turned and asked her husband which one they should invite to come in first. “Husband, here we have Success, Wealth and Love waiting on our doorstep. Who shall we invite in first?’

Her husband thought for a moment and replied ‘Let’s bring in Wealth first, for wealth in life is very important to me.’

The woman answered, ‘No husband. I would like to have Success to come in first. For Success in life is more important than wealth.’

Their little daughter heard all of that was being said and called out loudly to her parents and the three wise men, ‘LOVE. We need more love in our family. Please Mummy. Please Daddy. Please bring in Love first.’


So the woman opened the door widely to invite Love to come in the house. Surprisingly, the other two, Success and Wealth followed through the door. Not understanding, the woman asked Love, ‘Success told me that you only come in one at a time, so why do you now all come into the house together?’

Love answered, ‘if you had chosen Success to come in first, he would have come in alone and if your choice was Wealth, he also would have walked in alone. However, because you chose Love to come into your house first, so come the other two. For wherever Love goes, Success and Wealth will follow.’
