Gulliver leading in the flock
This weekend has been a lovely combination of fellowship and chores.  We brought in the flock and tagged, vaccinated and docked the lambs.  We had 14 new additions to the flock and all are looking happy and healthy.  After everyone had left I noticed that another ewe had a black lamb, so a total of 15 as of today.  We will attend to the next batch of lambs during August's working bee.  A major priority on our to-do list is to install yards so that handling the sheep is safer and more efficient.

Neal and a new addition
Working together on these working bee weekends provide opportunities for developing relationships and honing our personal characters so that Yehovah's Name is held high in us and amongst us.  Community is an ideal that most people would hold to and it's also a term that is bandied around freely.  Online community, suburban community or church community, we've all heard it or said it, but to live it is a challenging but very rewarding lifestyle.  As we become inter-dependent upon one another the fruits of the Ruach HaKodesh are given an opportunity to blossom and benefit the whole. 

A simple chore of relocating a trampoline is easy with all hands on deck  
We also celebrated Riley's 3rd birthday.  He's such a delight and loves coming up to Hebron.  May Yehovah, your good shepherd, bless and lead you Riley. 

Happy 3rd birthday Riley!
After the cars had pulled out there was a beautiful rainbow reaching from the the top of the hill down to the front of the house.  It was a beautiful reminder that our Father's eye is on us.  An interesting number fact for Dad is that the rainbow is 42 degrees from the direction opposite the sun.

    Nice photos there Netty. Gotta love the rainbow! Was a great weekend, good working in teams and all that. And fellowshipping around music, song, the Word, and of course food. Thanks for taking the time to provide Shabbat meal for us all. How is your finger?? Has it stopped bleeding yet? shalom, Shark2

    Hi Annette, Thanks for this - I love the photo of the rainbow/fences/road. Great composition! Getting into my imagination a bit here but it makes me think of a 'road to possibilities' and your vision for Hebron. Seems I missed out on a great weekend - heard there was MUCH laughter! Lovely to see the photo of your grandson and daughter too.
    Yehovah bless you in the work you're doing at Hebron. The community you've all built is amazing - building the farm and forging loving relationships - all glory to Him. Looking forward to next Sabbath with everyone - 'You guys rock' as the kids would say. Wendy xx

    It was a lovely rainbow wasn't it Christine and Wendy. I love photos of tracks and gates, so 'road to possibilities' sounds great to me too :)

Where Your Treasure Is.....

By
Life has changed for our community and we are now split between two geographic locations - Salem and Mildura - with a few of us coming and going between them.   When the scripture says we are an 'unusual people', that certainly has an added layer for our community!      We are full of anticipation of what YHVH will pour out for the people of Australia, particularly the towns along the Murray River and Victoria.     But coming home to Hebron is always so good for the soul. Open skies - Open spaces   So lovely to see water in the top dam, grass emerging and  paddocks been sown for this year's hay crop.     I have been reflecting more on the truth and freedom of Yeshua's command:   Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth,  where moth and rust destroy,  and where thieves break in and steal.   But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,  where neither moth nor rust destroys,  and whe...

2025 Moedim - Appointed Times

By
Here in Australia it's spring but in the northern hemisphere the feasts at this time of year are known as the 'fall feasts' - Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot.   Yom Teruah Teaching It's new moon, Yom Teruah and we are anticipating Yom Kippur and the joy of Sukkot.  It's time for shouting, rejoicing, repenting and preparation - all in expectation to meet our King, our Messiah!  We put up banners, decorate our sukkah, fill the fridges and light the fires.   We will rejoice, we will enjoy each other's company but most of all, we know we will bless our Father with our obedience and He in turn will bless us. See you there!

Sukkot 2025

By
When the sun set on the 8th day of Sukkot there was much to be grateful for.  It was a week of joy and laughter, and serious reflection.  I sit here trying to put into a succinct paragraph all that transpired but suffice to say, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, our Abba, met with us, encouraged and refined us. We were joined by a brother and sister from Western Australia - family in the Messiah that we just hadn't met yet.  We look forward to meeting many more of Yeshua's community in the years to come!   We love to praise - I mean we really love to sing and shout His praises.  We do our best to do as David instructs and maybe we're not as skilful or harmonious, but we certainly are joyful!  The praise and teaching times were recorded to YouTube if you want a refresher.  Like I said, we might not be polished in sound or technique, but we are uncompromising in our devotion to Him and His Word. Sukkot Worship & Teaching    YHV...
