Sukkot - 8th Day

So the festival season is over for another year and what a blessing it has been.  The Great 8th Day was celebrated by those who could be at Hebron with shofar blasts, praises and fellowship.  We also shared around the Word and explored the purpose of the 8th Day and how it testifies of the millennial reign of Yeshua and the outpouring of the Ruach HaKodesh, bringing righteousness, healing and restoration.  And we say "Maranatha!" 

Some of us enjoying the sukkah one morning.

 The day before Sukkot we sent off three of our sheep to be slaughtered and dressed.  They were all in good nick and we were very pleased with the quality of the cuts. Here's Christine having a bit of a laugh with the Lion and the lamb :)

Part of Hebron's purpose is to be a provision of meat, vegetables and fruit for ourselves and eventually for others in need as we become more fruitful.  At the moment we are able to keep ourselves supplied with lamb but we are slowing working towards self sufficiency in other areas as well.  Don't forget to let me know what you would like to purchase and I can bring it into town on the weekends.

The child safety fence was finished during the week and all I need to do now is lay an appropriate ground surface and paint the fence.  This is such a blessing and I for one am extremely grateful as Riley is such an independent little explorer.

Here's Neal moving some rubble to fill in some low areas around the house.  The tractor has certainly proved its worth this week in assisting to build the sukkot, moving the sheep loading ramp, drilling fence holes, slashing grass and moving rubble.  Most importantly though, the kids loved being given a ride!

The fruit trees were weeded, fertilised and watered this week also.  They have been putting on good growth and we're anticipating a small but tasty crop this year!  We also spent a bit of time preparing the little caper plants for spring.  They have experienced a very hard time but we are determined to give the little guys our best efforts to revive them.

Others have taken some lovely photos so I will be adding other posts as I get access to those as well.

All in all these last 8 days have been a wonderful time of fellowship and praise.  We are constantly amazed at how blessed we are to be entrusted with this small block of land that we call Hebron.  We have collectively worked very hard to improve the infrastructure, land and stock but we are very aware that it's not by might, it's not by power but by the Spirit of Yehovah that our fellowship and Hebron is developed.  

 

This week of Sukkot has been a blessed time and we all experienced the joy and shalom of being here in one accord.  We look forward to next year and all that Yehovah does in our midst!

Shalom
