Hello Friends I am checking in real quick to update you on all the blessings that truly abound here in the Wood Family.

First, we are officially in escrow for the property I mentioned to you all awhile back. We are to take possesion on the 15th of July and are eager to do so. The Lord is blessing us abundantly with 40 acres that are awesome! Very useable land that if overflowing with blessings.... here are just a few of them: mature fruit and nut trees as well as berry bushes and wild grapes that I can use for jam. We have three springs and two creeks along with one pond that is stocked with fish! Our springs provide the water for our three bedroom one bath cozy cabin on a gravity system, no pump is needed since our springs are so strong! We also have government land on two sides of us, AND we have a deed to some of the government land and one of our springs that are on the governments land PLUS we have rights to the path that leads down to a lake!!!! We are so richly blessed. In fact, we have decided the sign above our entrance will read: "Welcome to the Wood's- Where Blessings Abound!" As I walked the property that is all that kept coming to mind... everywhere I looked I found another sweet blessing! The property is ran on a generator for now and we will be converting the home to an off  grid solar system in the next few months however, it does have phone and internet. Now that really made Joe and I giggle, the Lord knows we needed phone and internet for our home business even if we didn't have elctricty we could make that work! He is so wonderful in all His ways! We will be living where we are until the adoption is complete which leads me to the issue of court this last week.

We are preparing to leave for OK and TX this next week, I am kinda nervous about going but my Joe says to go and all will be fine here on the home front! He is such a wonderful husband and Father!

Oh, before I forget to ask.... what are you doing to honor your husband this weekend? I would love to hear your ideas and will try to post mine before the big day! Let's make a deal to really put our whole heart into blessing our husbands this weekend, letting them know how blessed we are to be their wives! Are you up to being accountable for this task? I know I am! I will post what I plan to do and what I really do! With prayer the Lord will sprinkle it with blessings and it will be a memory making weekend!

I better run for now, the night is getting late. Write when you can dear friends, I always love hearing from you!

With love,

Mrs. Joseph Wood (Jeanette)
