A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men 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 said. "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. 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 nice!!", 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-in-law 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-in-law'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!!!!!!" My WISH FOR YOU... Where there is pain, we wish you peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubting, we wish you a renewed confidence in Your Ability to work through them. Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, we wish you understanding, patience, and renewed strength. Where there is fear, we wish you love, and courage. 有一位婦女出門時﹐看到她庭院前有可三個陌生老人。 她對他們說﹕“我不認識你們﹐但我看你們該是餓了﹐請到我家來吃點東西。” 老人問﹕“你家男人在家嗎﹖”婦人答道﹕“不﹐他出去了。”“那我們不能進你的屋子。” 傍晚當婦人的丈夫回家時﹐她把事情告訴他。“告訴他們我回來了﹐請他們進來吧。”丈夫不反對﹐婦人就出去請三位老人進屋。 “我們不可以三個人一起進一間屋子。”其中一個老人指另一老人解釋說﹕“他的名字叫財富。”又指另一人說﹕“他叫成功。而我叫愛心。現在請你進去跟你丈夫商量﹐在我們三個之中要請誰進屋﹖” 婦人告訴丈夫後﹐丈夫大喜過望﹐“太好了﹐如果這樣就請財富進來﹐讓我們家滿載財富。” 婦人不同意﹐“我們何不請成功進來呢﹖” 她的媳婦在旁聽到了﹐也參加意見﹕“應該請愛心進來﹐讓我們家充滿愛心” 丈夫對妻子說道﹕“還是媳婦說得對﹐你就出去請愛心進來吧。” 婦人出外對三個老人傳達﹕“我們請愛心進我們屋子﹐作我們的客人吧。”愛 心起身進屋﹐其他兩個老人也跟隨著進來。 婦人奇道﹕“我只邀請愛心﹐怎麼其他 兩位也跟進來呢﹖”三個老人一起回答﹕“如果你選擇財富或者是成功﹐其他兩位 都會站開一邊。但你現在選擇了愛心﹐他到那裡﹐我們大家都跟到那裡。” 那裡有愛心﹐那裡就有財富與成功﹗﹗﹗ 對大家的期望﹕ 對痛苦的人﹐給他們帶來平和與憫愛。 對失去信心的人﹐陪伴他們﹐讓他們恢復信心。 對心力交悴的人﹐諒解﹐容忍﹐協助他們復原。 對內心恐慌的人﹐給予愛心和鼓勵。 Home |
