We have been stewards of this property for 6 1/2 years and and for all that time we have needed extra soil to landscape around the house and finish the shed site. This is not as easy a task as it first might sound. Firstly, we are needing over a hundred tonne of dirt and secondly, the sheer distance makes it too expensive to pay for cartage. Thankfully Father YHVH is on the throne and all the earth is His - including land fill!
After responding to an ad on Gumtree I had a road contractor come and visit this morning. His crew are working up in the Hills and will have semi trailer loads of soil to deliver for free. It will have some small bits of road base in it but as we are using it for fill around the house and shed floor that shouldn't be too much of an issue. Needless to say there was a spontaneous offering of thanksgiving!
Yesterday Tiffany and Nathan brought the boys up and Riley enjoyed his 'motorbike' ride and some kite flying. It was lovely to see them all enjoying Hebron's open spaces and perfect kite flying conditions. I'm so looking forward to Sukkot when Hebron will enjoy the community being together - sounds of praise, chatting, laughing and kids playing, all coming together to form a sweet incense to YHVH.
As we prepare ourselves for the coming of YHVH, keeping alert to the signs and the seasons, it is the strength of fellowship and community that matures, protects and hones us. The wisdom of YHVH in stipulating that His people come together at these times is to be celebrated. Do we have a heart to hear and obey? Yes! Are we evolving and tweaking our understanding of times and days? For sure. Do we allow small differences of interpretation separate us? Absolutely not. I'm forever grateful that in this journey of faith He has moved us out of the church system, through a time of individual searching and renewal and then into fellowship with like-minded believers.
Seeing the trees that we planted blossom into a beautiful yellow display is a source of great pleasure at the moment. Each year our trees grow and provide beauty and shelter, each year the property develops into a more sustainable operation and each year our appreciation, understanding and application of YHVH's Word matures.
Shalom.
