Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Peace and Tranquility Prayers
Prayer for a Calm Heart
Lord of Peace, as evening falls, I seek the calmness only You can provide. Quell the storms of my mind and replace anxiety with Your peace. As the world quiets down, let my heart do the same. May Your presence envelop me so that I may know tranquility tonight and always. Amen.
Serenity at Day’s End
Heavenly Father, with the closing of this day, I ask for serenity. As the night sky displays its vast beauty, let my soul mirror its peacefulness. Help me to let go of the worries of the day and trust in Your loving care. May Your peace reign in my heart and home tonight. Amen.
Prayer for Restful Stillness
Dear God, in the stillness of this evening, I come to You seeking rest for my soul. Help me to lay down the burdens I’ve carried today and find comfort in Your arms. Grant me peace that passes understanding and a rest that restores my spirit. May my sleep be undisturbed and my dreams be sweet. Amen.
Nighttime Whisper for Peace
Creator of All, as I listen to the night’s gentle whisper, I ask for peace to settle over me. Let Your tranquility wash away the noise of the day. In this quiet hour, I lean on Your promise of peace, a heavenly balm to my weary soul. Keep me in perfect peace as I keep my mind stayed on You. Amen.
Prayer for Gentle Rest
Omnipotent and Gentle Lord, at the end of this day, I seek the gentle rest that You so lovingly provide. May my mind be at ease, my body relax, and my spirit find harmony. Help me to release every concern into Your capable hands and sleep in the assurance of Your protection and peace. Amen.

time-cued to discussion of these egregious killers that keep getting released by leftist judges … uses the term “critical legal theory”
and why PresTrump can’t keep prosecutors that he appoints to high-profile cases like Comey and Laeticia James
covers mass firings and installation of leftists by Obama, such that PresTrump faces hostile agencies that won’t carry out Trump’s policies

A pinacle of Russian Artistry – Faberg’e Eggs; a little trip to Christie’s Auction House in London to view the most expensive Faberg’e Egg every sold… ‘The Winter Egg’ – made entirely of diamonds rock chrystal and platinum by the jeweler to Czar Nikolas II
advance to 7:35 to hear the story of how it came to be in 1913…and be sitting down when you hear the price the new owner has paid
They say
Money
can’t buy you love
But eggs
No problem
Where do you put that thing when you buy it
Just sayin
☘️
I guess one would put it amongst all their other priceless artifacts. Or on a bedroom table… maybe in a shoebox under the bed.
It’s a fascinating
bitrabbit hole of jewelry history… excellent photos here of most of the 52 eggs;“… the zenith of the decorative arts in the Western world….”

Winter Egg Description:
“… Workmaster: Albert Holmström |
Designed by Alma Theresia Pihl
Marks: Egg – no marks apparent | Miniature basket – Fabergé 1913 on bottom of flower basket
Materials: Egg – rock crystal, platinum, rose-cut diamonds, brilliant diamonds, moonstone | Miniature basket – platinum, gold, white quartz, nephrite, demantoid (green) garnets | Base – rock crystal
Dimensions: Overall height – 142 mm. (5 5/8 in.) | Height of egg – 102 mm. (4 in.) | Height of surprise – 82 mm. (3 3/16 in.)
Description:
The egg is set on a rock crystal base formed as a block of melting ice, applied with platinum-mounted rose-cut diamond rivulets. The hinged, rock-crystal egg is detachable and is held vertically above by a pin. The egg has rose-cut, diamond-set platinum borders, graduated around the hinge and enclosing at the top, a cabochon moonstone painted on the reverse with the date 1913. The thinly carved transparent body of the egg is finely engraved on the interior to simulate ice crystals, while the outside is further engraved and applied in carved channels with similar rose-cut diamond-set platinum motifs.
The egg opens vertically to reveal the surprise-a platinum, double-handled trelliswork basket, set with rose-cut diamonds and full of wood anemones, suspended from a platinum hook. Each flower is realistically carved from a single piece of white quartz (Editor’s note: Bainbridge believed the flowers were carved from cacholong, a milky opal) with a gold wire stem and stamens, the center set with a demantoid (green) garnet, some carved half open, or in bud, the leaves delicately carved in nephrite, emerging from a bed of gold moss. The base of the basket is engraved “Fabergé 1913.”
Background Notes:
This is another Tsar Imperial egg that disappeared from public view for some decades, and happily reemerged in early 1993, when it was found in a shoebox under a bed in London’s Belgravia. It reputedly had sat on a bedroom table in the same apartment in 1979, left undisturbed when the flat was burgled.
… (much much more)”
I hope a Russian has bought it to bring back to Russia, and it would be even more wonderful if s/he puts it on display in some museum or another. It’s an historic Crown Jewel and belongs in their National Archive.
Thanks Grace
I like this sort of stuff
The artistry
I think the money part of it is crazy
But I do love art

Going to be bombarding this platform with even more maps showing extreme cold into next weekend.
It’s only going to get worse.
Everyone will underpredict the severity of the cold because they are not considering this most important parameter?

This would make a perfect gif response at times.
