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 :)

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!

Sukkot 2024

By
The Healing to the Nations fellowship came together to celebrate Sukkot here at Hebron and what a blessed time it was. It seems that since Sukkot life and work got crazy busy so an update on our time together slipped off the priority list.  But as I reflect back on our time together and what has transpired since then I am again encouraged. There was a flurry of preparation in the meeting room and sukkah, and Hebron was ready for a big week of fellowship, praise and times with our King and Adonai.  Although there was one big disappointment because I could not locate the flags that we line the driveway with.  Colourful flags will definitely make an appearance for Sukkot 2025 though. Not everyone was able to come up at Sukkot and they were missed but there is always next year.  Father Yehovah's wisdom in establishing the annual feasts is such a powerful prophetic witness and joy for Messiah's body. The highlight of Sukkot is always spending time under the sukkah in the ...

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.
