  Bro. Cole was telling a story that really moved me..  It was a story 
from a country where it was the custom for a bride groom to  give 
cattle to the father for the bride's hand in marriage..  In this
>specific case the groom was telling the father that he would pay 8 
cows for his daughter...  the father was only going to ask 4 cows and 
most of the suiters only paid about 3...  When word got out among the 
men that this idiot over paid for his wife.. they laughed and scoffed 
at him.  Visiting him one day a man walked into a nicely kept home and 
a gorgeous woman came into the room, kissed the man of the house and 
walked out...  the visitor was impressed with such a beautiful woman... 
but wanted to meet the much talked about bride who was not worth one 
cow... That was my wife... the man said... see, a woman needs
>to feel self worth. when she goes down to talk with all the other 
women at the river and they talk about what their husbands paid for 
them... They'll brag that their husbands paid 4 cows for them... well, 
MY wife can say that her husband paid 8 cows for her!  My husband found 
me and I wasn't even in church.. He gave me Bible Studies and decipled 
me.  Then he wanted to go out with me and I said I would never go out 
with someone shorter than I am.  He said ok, how about a date!  :)  He 
chased me till I finally caught him.  I don't think i am worth all that 
effort but he showed the world that HE thought that I was...   Jesus 
loved us so much that he robed himself in flesh and died for us so that 
we might know that he owns the cattle on a thousand hill tops.  That is 
how to make a wife feel loved.
