What's your plan as we go into the holidays for how you're going to share the

gospel with your family members or friends who don't know Jesus? I wrote a short

resource called Gospel Threads to help you intentionally share Christ in the

fabric of your normal conversations around the table or the living room or wherever you are,

and we want to send you a free copy of gospel threads to your front door.

Just go to radical.net slash share Jesus.

Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net.

Psalm chapter 113, verse 9.

He gives the Baron woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children.

Praise the Lord.

I could talk for a long time about the impact of this verse specifically in my life and marriage and family after Heather and I had long to have children for many years and God

was just not answering the way we hoped and he ended up leading us down a path of adoption, which we had never planned on, but I'm so glad he led us through infertility and down that path.

And we ended up adopting our first son into our home from

Kazakhstan and then came back and within a couple of weeks found out that Heather was pregnant and so I remember when we were at the hospital and she was preparing to give birth to our second son and we read Psalm 113 verse 9 he gives the Baron woman a home making her the joyous mother of children

praise the Lord.

And I could go on talking about how God formed the rest of our family all the way up to right now as we

are praying every day for a child that we have been matched with for adoption and we were just a few days away from leaving

the country to go and bring into our home when back in early February we were told we couldn't go because of the

spread of this virus around the world.

Our child's name is J.D, stands for Jeremiah Daniel.

We pray for him every day, all day long,

just praying.
