Dear Friends and Family,
“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think…” (Ephesians 3:20)
Our family has truly experienced the abundant blessings that the Lord gives. The year 2008 was full of many changes for us. As we look back over the past twelve months we can certainly see the guiding had of our great God upon our family.
In January we welcomed our second son, Hudson Riley, into our home. Having two boys has certainly been fun! Isaac has loved being a big brother from the start, and they continue to enjoy each other.
In September the Lord uprooted our family from Michigan and moved us to north central Wisconsin, where Adam now pastor’s the Harvest Baptist Church. We can see the beauty of God’s work in our lives in bringing us to Harvest Baptist. He truly has given us a unity with His people here, and a wonderful joy in knowing His perfect will. We love our new home and church family, and cannot number the many blessings He has bestowed upon us since arriving here. Our church congregation is small, but truly has a love for the Lord and a unity that we have not seen before. It has been exciting to see how the Lord is already beginning to work, and we are looking forward to the great things He has in store for our church.
The boys are growing quickly. Isaac turned three years old the end of October and continues to amaze us with his keen mind and creative imagination. Right now his favorite things include peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, playing “Old Maid”, helping mama bake, singing, and all trucks, cars, and motorcycles. Isaac continues to be a “daddy’s boy” and is always eager to be with his daddy.
Hudson will be turning one year the end of January. It is hard to believe how quickly the time has passed! Hudson levels out the scales by being “mama’s boy” and is always wanting his mama to hold him. His favorite things include laughing at his brother, eating crackers and cheerios, and playing with Isaac’s toys! He has added much joy to our family this year.
We are pleased with where the Lord has led our family this year, and eagerly anticipate his continued blessings in 2009. May you find great joy and blessings in the Lord in the coming year.
Much Love,
Adam, April, Isaac and Hudson Jones
