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.

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...

2025 Moedim - Appointed Times

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!

Practical Deeds .... Spiritual Dividends

The practical outworkings of our worship and obedience may look different from one individual to another, one family to another or one fellowship to another. Here at Hebron it's a matter of looking after the land, stock, home and infrastructure to ensure that things are ticking along as they should in a timely manner; creating a refuge and oasis, now and for the future. This week the flock were treated to some mineral blocks, which will provide necessary salts and minerals that they need to remain in tip top shape while they're lambing in the summer months. The smaller top dam is well and truly dry but this would be the perfect time to get the tractor in there and dig it deeper, which would also have the bonus of providing good dirt for the vegie patch. This dam is not spring fed so having it deeper would provide more water for next summer, provided it fills during the winter months. The vegie patch, or as I prefer to call it at times, the battlefie...
