Long Shadows

By
Here at Hebron things are ticking away nicely.  The grass is long and drying out, which means an increased risk of pink-eye.  This is a condition where eyes can get infected from irritation from dry grass or lodged seeds and is simple enough to treat.  An increased check of the flock is now happening.  What a life this is - how lovely to spend a few more minutes to drive through the paddocks!


I inserted these two photos because I never tire of seeing the long shadows in the late afternoon.  I remember the days when there were no trees up the driveway and the only shade to be found was out in the paddocks under the big red gums.



As the paddocks brown off the beautiful flowering cactus is a sight to behold.  The fragrance is beautiful and even stronger than a rose. 


This time of year also brings out the reptiles.  Thankfully the only one I've seen thus far is a frill neck lizard.  The snakes will be around but as long as they stay out of sight I'm happy.  The rabbits are increasing and it won't be long before the mice make their presence known so as we keep on top of those 'meals' we should be okay. 


As it is drying out here don't forget to bring a pair of sock protectors and jeans next time you're up, otherwise you'll be picking grass seeds out of your shoes, socks and fleecy pants.

That's all there is to report this week from Hebron so shalom to all until next time.

    Thanks Annette for your updates on Hebron. I look forward to reading them each time you post new stuff up for us. And photos are great. Perhaps you could bring one cactus flower for us on Shabbat to have a smell. Love lots, Christina

Unleavened Bread - 2024

By
For this small part of Yeshua's body, Healing to the Nations in South Australia, the last few months, including the past week of Pesach, has been ....well, different and unusual.  It has truly been a period of time where Father YHVH has been rooting and grounding us in His love, word and truth.  We gathered together at Hebron to keep the Pesach memorial and there was a stripping back.  No traditions, no add-ons, just Yeshua's Pesach and Yeshua's words.  The following day, the first day of Unleavened Bread, the Father's kindness and uncompromising truth was manifested amongst us.  It was truly a blessed time together.  Traditionally the week of unleavened bread will have an emphasis of dealing with the carnal ego, which is very apt, or the leaven of the pharisees, which is also very apt.  However, Paul emphasised that sin that is tolerated is also leaven that must be exposed and dealt with to ensure that the body of Yeshua is kadosh, which was emphasise...

Sukkot in the Adelaide Hills

By
  With the autumn feasts upon us I was reflecting on Sukkot last year and how the year since has been full of YHVH's blessings and encouragements.   The HTTN community purchased the property nearly 19 years ago and we have worked hard to develop it.  There is still much to be done so that it can facilitate the purposes that YHVH wants for it but He has proven Himself faithful to His word over the years.  Not a minute too late, not a minute too soon.   We are looking forward to celebrating Yom Teruah next week and then Sukkot a few weeks later.  Hebron will once again be filled with the sound of shofars, singing and laughter.  Yes, there have been times of weeping and even then He proves Himself merciful and faithful. Hallelu Yah!

Shalom with Messiah

By
In a few weeks we will begin the next phase of the moed with Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot.  As with every year, we are eagerly anticipating this time with YHVH and the community in the Adelaide Hills.   One thing we say every year is that we long for the day when the wider Messianic community come together at Sukkot to celebrate with praise, feasting and fellowship.  It would seem that the Messianic community is relatively young and scattered in Australia and in the early days we would at times wonder if there was anyone else responding to the call to come out of the Christian church system and return to the ancient paths.  And of course there were and are. It's always so exciting when we meet another person or family who are on the same path and we can rejoice together.  We all have different stories, backgrounds and experiences but the common and binding truth is that YHVH is love and that love is expressed not only in His redemption but in the fullness o...
