Bride Price
As the parents of 4 daughters, 2 of whom are married, we know that when girls get married, it can be a time when the parents have to spend a lot of money for the wedding, reception, etc. Well, today at lunch we were eating with our 2 young teachers. Maureen got married a year ago. Caroline is getting married in April. They were so surprised to hear that our son-in-laws didn't have to give us money in order to wed our daughters. Maureen's husband had to give her parents 3.5 million kwacha. Caroline's husband-to-be is paying 4 million kwacha ( about $1000 US). Different cultures!

A woman in one of my ministry classes gave a teaching a few months ago where she talked about paying for a bride.

The whole thing is that Jesus paid the highest price for his "bride." And no matter how ugly or nasty we can be, he loves us and sees us as beautiful..
