He makes me feel loved and valued and like there is nothing in the world that means more to him. It made me think of how every single day my husband tells me that I am beautiful on multiple occassions. I was reminded of this the other day when we were in Weston and a little girl, no more than three looked up at me while we were in this shop and said “Look mommy, a pretty girl!” The mother said “A pretty girl?” the mom said “Yep, I want to look just like her some day.” I was embarassed, but it made me think of the eight cow woman. They explained to Jesse if he made me feel like I was the most beautiful woman in the world it would have a lasting affect on my demeanor, my appearance and my character. The Falkners told us this story in marriage counseling.
A year or so later the woman came back and not one person recognized her, for she was now stunningly beautiful. The father accepted and off she went to live in a palace with her new husband. He offered her father eight cows in exchange for the girl.
One day a wealthy dignitary came to the village and saw the woman and thought that she was absolutely breathtaking. Her father knew that the most anyone had ever gotten for a daughter in the village was three cows so he thought that maybe, if he was lucky, he’d get one for his plain daughter. The woman was very plain to most, having nothing distinguishable or desirable about her to anyone in her village.
