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.

Joy Comes in the Morning

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...

Pesach 2025

It was such a blessing for our community to come together at Hebron for the Pesach meal and the first day of unleavened bread. We are not a big community in the Adelaide Hills but we are testifying that Yeshua is the Messiah and walking in His ways. There are so many individuals or families that don't have a Messianic fellowship that they can be part of because of geographic distances - or even theological distances. Our desire is to see Messianic fellowships form and develop in many more parts of Australia so that the sheep of His pasture are fed, nurtured and protected. The Good News of Messiah and His kingdom has been hidden and misconstrued since the early times but the Ruach is revealing truth - the truth that sets His people free. So as we come together in obedience to observe the moed, whether it's a couple here or a big fellowship over there, we are encouraged and built up in Him as we run the race that He has set before ...

Where Your Treasure Is.....

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...
