The Hebron Herald

What a blessed day of rejoicing and reflection.  Messiah Yeshua came and will come again to rule from Jerusalem and dispense justice and righteousness, bringing peace and restoration for all of creation.  Isn't the wisdom of Yehovah in establishing the cycle of feasts and set apart days marvellous!  He's all too aware of our human frailties and the ever increasing need for His people to remain alert, prepared and able to give testimony to all mankind, so the annual cycle of feasts serve as a constant rehearsal and reminder.  May Israel, His chosen and set apart people, be blessed and provided for and may the light of their Messiah dawn in their hearts. Here at Hebron it's preparation time for next week's Sukkot celebrations.  I don't think I've ever been this excited and I'm so looking forward to the busyness, the celebrations and the fellowship.  Each year we tweak and adjust what we do and how we do it, and I'm sure until we hear that heavenly sh

The month of set apart days has begun with a blast and a shout.  Isn't this so much better than christian Christmas and Easter!  Those of us who were able gathered at Christine's house for a time of joyous noise, shofar blasts, scripture readings, discussion and a meal.  These times are so precious and meaningful and I always leave with a sense of purpose and peace.

Another not so welcome event is the annual march of the millipedes.  Nothing an

I arrived home from Victoria to the windiest day we've had in a very long time.  Our weather station recorded winds up to 96.6 km/h - no wonder I couldn't hear myself think!  Surprisingly the only damage was the shed 3G aerial dislodged, a few sheets of tin blew out of the rubbish pile and a small branch from a tree at the side of the house came down.  The wind has finally abated and we're enjoying gorgeous sunny, spring days. The latest acquisition is a loading ramp for our stock.  This will prove invaluable when it comes to loading our sheep to take to the butchers in a couple of weeks.  Previously this has been a difficult and stressful exercise for the stock, let alone the blokes who had to manually get them into the trailer. We are also looking into purchasing sheep yard panels. Next week begins the festival season and at this time of the year Hebron comes into its own.  How blessed are we to have this property to come and celebrate the festivals.  Even though we w
