180 days of partying. Beth shared King Xerxes was trying to convince the provinces to join him in taking over Greece. He followed that up with a 7 day banquet. Filled to the brim with alcohol, & self indulgence he sent for Queen Vashti to show her off. (Should husbands show off their wives just because of their beauty.)Princess Diana has been called the most beautiful woman in the world. Would she have been if she had married someone else? Was his request reasonable? Did he ask her to come nude? Had he asked before and she complied? We don't know and I think that's because I would zero in that specific request and dwell on it. She said no. Not sure why. Didn't want to be seen nude, or with a bunch of drunk men. She at least felt secure in herself to say no. Did she herself as the most beautiful woman at the time? There is a lesson on submission her for me. I think of the requests my husband has asked of me in the past. Sometimes I said no because I wanted my way. Not because the request was unreasonable. When the answer is no, it can cause anger which for King Xerxes became.
Thank you Joyce for wanting to do this with me. Love ya.
