I was really moved by a story that was told at church a few weeks ago: {I'm paraphrasing}
A woman heard a knock at the door. She opened the door to find three men standing there. She invited them to come in, but they told her she could only invite one into her home. They told her their names...Love, Wealth and Success. They told her to discuss it with her husband to decide who to invite in. She and her husband discussed the matter and, at first, we're very tempted to invite Wealth into their home. But upon further thought, they decided to invite Love in. The woman opened the door and asked Love to come in. He walked into the house and the other two men followed him. She asked, "why did you all three come in if I could only invite one?" The men then explained to her that if she had invited Wealth or Success, only one could have come in. But because she invited Love, they all could enter the house. Because where Love goes, Wealth and Success must follow.
Isn't that a great message? One thing's for sure, Love is in our home. Maybe one day, his friends Wealth and Success will follow. And we can all live happily ever after. :)
