Sadness & Loss
🌊 Tears beside Esther 9:31
When tears is loud, Esther 9:31 is a sentence you can borrow. “to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had decreed, and as they had imposed upon themselves and their descendants, in the matter of the fastings and their cry.” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.
