Koinonia

By
This weekend those of us who could gather at Hebron enjoyed each others company, the fabulous weather and the satisfaction of ticking a few chores off the list.  We had a great discussion time around the koinonia that Paul spoke about, our Torah journey, the blessings of Yehovah and the privilege and challenges of community. 



 We also welcomed our newest addition to Hebron, the new ram to keep our flock company.  He's a young 11 months old but eager to enter his new role.


The new farm ute was put through its paces today and I'm sure it will continue to prove its worth.  (John and Trevor showing it off) A great buy and the hydraulic workshop is a real bonus.


We also kitted out the living room and dining area with donations from Christine's workplace - what a difference it's made.  (Cousins Yohanan, Yakira and Bonnie enjoying a colouring-in session)


The site of many future fellowship meals.


We also planted willows and natives at the top dam site and a wind break further down the middle paddock.


It's very hard to get a decent shot of the flock with my little 'point and shoot' but trust me, they're all content and very healthy.  Gulliver the alpaca did not give our new ram a red carpet welcome but they've managed to work out the pecking order. 


This isn't the greatest shot but if you look closely you'll see a couple of our resident kangaroos under the red gum trees.  This really is a beautiful spot and I don't blame them hanging out there. 

It's always such a great time of fellowship on these weekends and everyone is missed who aren't able to be there.  Hebron is such a beautiful place so whenever you find yourself wishing for a few hours of quiet and peace, take advantage of your own piece of the promised land.  Everyone has their own favourite spot, whether it be on top of the windy hill and taking in the majestic view, under the red gum stand or sitting next to the dam listening to the frogs.

Shalom in Yeshua our Messiah ...

Blessed Dry Times

By
In Australia it's summer time.  In South Australia it's particularly dry and there is a real possibility of below average rainfall for the autumn season as well.  This is not unusual for our part of the country.  It's part of the natural cycles and here at Hebron we take the necessary preparations.  The dams are drying up but we have plenty of rainwater in the tanks and a bore that draws up water from 60 metres below, so for a short dry spell we are well prepared. We have enough dry feed in the paddocks and bales of hay for the flock of sheep to get us through this dry season.  I'm actually grateful for this dry spell this month because it means that the evil caltrop has not germinated, saving me from a lot of work.  Caltrop (think the most evil version of a three-corner jack!) needs higher temperatures and good spring rains to germinate - usually in early December.  Caltrop and I will continue our battle if we get rain before the summer ends though!

Sheep of His Pasture

By
The guys have been out fixing fences so that our flock can move into the paddock.  The roos have a tendency to break fences and dig holes so it's an ongoing chore unfortunately.  Whilst it's rather nice to see them out in the paddocks, and to see when the joeys emerge from the pouch, it can be frustrating as well. Moving the flock into a different paddock is always one of my favourite things to do because you get to give them a closer check and they're always excited about going into a fresh paddock.   So late in the afternoon last Friday I thought, why not share it with you as well.  Enjoy a quick visit to Hebron and I pray that wherever you are, in whatever pasture our Father YHVH has you, that you are blessed and experiencing His overshadowing kindness.

Joy Comes in the Morning

By
  For over a year South Australia and Victoria have been in drought.  Dams are dry, crops have failed and trees are dying.   When the community bought the property 19 years ago we invested in sinking a bore to ensure water security.  The water quality is good enough to water the stock and our gardens.  We also have large rainwater tanks which have kept water to the house.  However, if the drought had of continued we would have hooked the house up to the bore water as well.    We had stored enough hay to feed our sheep and alpacas and they were well fed.  Investment in the infrastructure has been a big expense in both finances and labour over the years, but it's in years like this that it's well worth it.  It brings so much joy to see the green grass and gardens when the paddocks are bare and dry.   Praise YHVH, the rains came last week!   We have received 40ml over the last couple of weeks and more is on the...
