ESTHER –
THE NEW QUEEN

E S T H E R
CHAPTER 2

When the turn came for Esther to go to the king, she asked for nothing other than what Hegai, the king’s eunuch who was in charge of the harem, suggested. And Esther won the favor of everyone who saw her. She was taken to King Xerxes in the royal residence.

Now the king was attracted to Esther more than to any of the other women, and she won his favor and approval more than any of the other virgins.

Hello, your Highness!

Good morning to all. Work today and tomorrow, but happy to have that blessing when many do not. May the blessing of God be with all of you today!

Good Morning Dan, and hello to each of you.
God gives Esther favor in the king’s eyes... all power is in His hands.
Beautiful paintings Dan, and terrific glass as well.
Thank you for each of them =:^)

And to you, fidelis!

Coveting is permitted here, Leon. Help yourself to any and all—although you may need to wrestle Alba for the fensters.

1 Corinthians 4:10

We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.

That’s the spirit!
