New Life on Sabbath

Had a lovely surprise on Sabbath morning yesterday to the arrival of two ewe lambs. It was great timing as Brendan, Christina and the children were staying over, so we moved the ewes and lambs back into the main flock so Gulliver, the alpaca, could protect the lambs from foxes.

I checked this morning and we have a third lamb born, although whether it is a ram or ewe I don't know.

At least one of us is looking her best....

The stewardship of taking care of Yehovah's creatures is something we take very seriously. At times we've had to learn by our mistakes but our heart is to uphold Torah in spirit and in truth, and part of that is how we care for the land and its inhabitants.

This batch of lambs are sired by the young ram who escaped our attention last year. However, he is now proven so we will be able to sell him, as well as his father, this month. (getting a decent photo of these boys is proving to be quite a task)


I cut off Christina's head unfortunately, but I put this photo in as I wanted Yohanan to see himself on the blog.

Now that the top dam is half full we have two pairs of ducks who have made it home, and hopefully will lay their eggs when the time is right. It's so nice to hear the frogs at night now also.

I have planted the two vegie raised beds and have plans to add to this as time permits. Little by little and step by step Hebron is taking shape. Isn't it such a privilege to enjoy watching its growth, be part of its development, be matured by its challenges and to delight in its beauty. Surely Yehovah and His Word is sufficient.

Moedim Preparations

Spring Festival Preparations For us in the southern hemisphere Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot falls in spring. I might be biased but I think we're pretty blessed to have the new year begin when there's new life and blossom appearing. On the other hand the weather and wind can be a unpredictable but hey, it keeps it real for Sukkot! This year there's the anticipation of celebrating Sukkot and all that it prophetically points to, but there is a longing to fellowship with our Father and bless Him, listen to Him and enjoy His family. Yakira and I have been excited with the very real expectation that for us there will be a freshness and new life so we have been busy making sure the fellowship home and gardens reflect this. So we not only make physical preparations but we prepare our hearts. Yom Teruah has been, Yom Kippur is upon us and Sukkot is before us. Looking forward to seeing you all drive through our gates!

Misty Moments

July 2023 I've had a long hiatus in updating the blog but after some prompting I thought I'd pop up a short video. Yakira and I took some short clips of some of us and we'll do that regularly from now on. Every month our fellowship meets at Hebron to worship, to honour Shabbat, to enjoy each other's company and to maintain and develop the property. Those who can stay overnight so we can have more time to be together. It may seem an odd concept for regular church goers but it's entirely natural for us and something we look forward to. Eating together, hanging out, working and worshipping together all develops relationships, hones personalities and gives the Ruach time to refine and encourage us. This month was a delightful wintery, misty weekend. We are at the end of the Mount Lofty ranges so when the cloud sits low it's like being in your own private little world. Brendan and Neal worked on fixing the house water tank and John was relegated to the tract

Sukkot 2023 - The Winter is Past...

The voice of my lover. Behold, He is coming Leaping over the mountains, springing over the hills My lover is like a gazelle or a young buck among the stags Look! He is standing behind our wall, gazing through the windows Peering through the lattice. In response my lover said to me, "Get yourself up, my darling my pretty one, and come. Come! For behold, the winter is past, the rain is over, it's gone. Blossoms appear in the land and the time of singing has come... Song of Songs 2 * * * What a blessed time we had over Sukkot here at Hebron. A few weeks before the start of the festival I was impacted by the understanding that our Creator and Father anticipates meeting with His children more than we anticipate meeting with Him. His love, His desire to meet with us individually and as a fellowship far surpasses ours, to a degree that it is impossible for us to comprehend. And meet with Him we did. The moed are His. His appointments with people who call on His Name, ob
