Wintery Days

By
Despite some wild and wet days last week our four newcomers are doing well.  We have three ewe lambs and one that I haven't been able to check whether it's a ewe or ram.  As I watch the flock wandering the paddock it's easy to recall the Psalms and parables of Yeshua and be encouraged.

To enjoy and be in Yehovah's creation is a blessing that we can always take for ourselves.  The mystery of the fullness of His redemptive love can be felt in part through the restorative healing, encouragement and hope that fills our souls when we go outside, breath deeply and view the beauty - whether it be rolling hills, the vastness of the ocean, watching birds feed in our backyard.

How blessed are we to have this acreage of Hebron to enjoy, develop, express community and celebrate Yehovah's set apart days and festivals.  I see our home paddock filled with caravans, tents and fellow sojourners who have travelled from afar to celebrate Sukkot together.  There will be laughter, music, meals, fellowship, prayer, praise and reading of Torah.  Each year we have grown in our understanding, faced challenges but above all, felt the shalom that testifies that yes, His ways are higher than ours.  How great is Yehovah!

Moedim Preparations

By
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

By
 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...

By
  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
