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 replied. "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 asked.
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 n ice!!", 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 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'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 !!!!!!"

Life is a Gift
Life is a Gift
There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she's blind.
She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend.
He's alwaysthere for her.
She said that if she could only see the world, she would marryher boyfriend.
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she can see everything, including her boyfriend.
Her boyfriend asked her, "now that you can see the world, willyou marry me?"The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend is blindtoo, and refused to marry him.
Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letterto her saying."Just take care of my eyes dear."This is how human mental thoughts changes when their status changed.
Only few remember what life was before, and who's always been there even in the most painful situations.
Life Is A GiftToday before we think of saying an unkind word
Think of someone who can't speak.
Before we complain about the taste of our food
Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before we complain about our husband or wife
Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion.
Today before we complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to heaven.
Before we complain about our children
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.
Before we argue about our dirty house, someone didn't clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets .
Before whining about the distance we drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when we are tired and complain about our job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wishedthey had our job.
But before we think of pointing the finger or condemninganother
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answerto one maker.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get us down
Put a smile on our face and thank God we're alive and still around.
Life is a gift
Live it
Enjoy it
Celebrate it
EMBRACE IT
And fulfill it
Let The LORD & The LIGHT OF THE WORLD Bless You...............
