Yom Teruah

By
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.

Shofars, shouts of joy, instruments and Yakira's silver trumpet

Here at Hebron we have a little visitor who has decided to settle into the house paddock for the night, and I really hope she's there in the morning.  As I was coming up from the bottom dam I was surprised by a young deer making her way down to the middle paddock.  The only deer I've seen in these parts was a big stag in the middle of the road one night - Bonnie will be able to tell you about that one! - so I'm not sure where she's come from.

Another not so welcome event is the annual march of the millipedes.  Nothing and no one is safe. Wonder if there's something that would find them yummy!

On my drive around the property today I discovered that the small black tank on top of the hill had been blown down to the bottom of the paddock in last week's big wind, so that will be a job for you blokes when you're up here next.

Two more weeks and Hebron will be filled with the noise of celebrations and fellowship.  Each year we modify and tweak how we celebrate and function and each year our appreciation and understanding of this very important feast of Sukkot develops.  All visitors and fellow lovers of torah and Yehovah's ways welcome!

    Annette - great update... and I can help you out with a solution to the millipedes! Baysol Snail & Slug bait - little blue pelletts - I routinely sprinkle them around the house perimeter (and inside as required). Knocks them out real good...

    I don't think anything actually eats them ... which is a shame, but can't say I blame them ;-)

    I wonder if ducks would find them appetising?

Joy Comes in the Morning

By
  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...

Sheep of His Pasture

By
The guys have been out fixing fences so that our flock can move into the paddock.  The roos have a tendency to break fences and dig holes so it's an ongoing chore unfortunately.  Whilst it's rather nice to see them out in the paddocks, and to see when the joeys emerge from the pouch, it can be frustrating as well. Moving the flock into a different paddock is always one of my favourite things to do because you get to give them a closer check and they're always excited about going into a fresh paddock.   So late in the afternoon last Friday I thought, why not share it with you as well.  Enjoy a quick visit to Hebron and I pray that wherever you are, in whatever pasture our Father YHVH has you, that you are blessed and experiencing His overshadowing kindness.

Pesach 2025

By
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 ...
