Wisdom, Success & Wealth


             Once upon a time, in a place in a far far way, there lived a very poor couple: Mr and Mrs Saji and their 9-year-old daughter Miriam. On a beautiful Sunday morning this family was visited by three men...


           These men where dressed in what looked like sack cloth and each of them held a stick. They arrived at the front porch of their house and knocked on the door...


        Mrs Saji opened it up and they said warmly: “Peace be with you and your family, please tell us where your husband is”...


          She responded, ”He is out fishing but please come in and sit, I will make breakfast”, but they denied saying “We will sit outside until he returns”...


         A couple of minutes later, Mr Saji returned home and together with his wife and daughter, he went to meet the men. 

           He introduced himself formally and asked them to do the same... They responded: “Our names are Wisdom, Success and Wealth”.


       “O really!”, Mr Saji exclaimed “Please come into my poor home and bless my family”. But the men responded, “Only one of us can come in, we are sorry, but you will have to choose”.Left in this crescent array of alternatives, Mr Saji made his choice: “I am a poor man, I have been struggling to provide for my family, I will love Wealth to come in and change my life”. 
           Mrs Saji was not pleased with this decision. She said: “I do think that Success comes Wealth. Please let Success come in”, she demanded, but Mr Saji will not agree and the couple began to argue.


              In the middle of this argument, their little daughter, Miriam entered the scene saying: “Mum, Dad, let wisdom come in and transform us from within; so that we will not only have wealth and success now, but for the rest of our lives”. After a lot of strife, the family decided to let wisdom in.


              When wisdom entered the house, they were surprised to find that success followed wisdom and wealth followed success.

 

In confusion, Mrs Saji demanded, “Did you guys not say that just one of you could come in”, but the men responded, “Wherever wisdom goes, success goes and wherever success goes, wealth goes”. This is true anywhere and everywhere...
