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

Where Your Treasure Is.....

By
Life has changed for our community and we are now split between two geographic locations - Salem and Mildura - with a few of us coming and going between them.   When the scripture says we are an 'unusual people', that certainly has an added layer for our community!      We are full of anticipation of what YHVH will pour out for the people of Australia, particularly the towns along the Murray River and Victoria.     But coming home to Hebron is always so good for the soul. Open skies - Open spaces   So lovely to see water in the top dam, grass emerging and  paddocks been sown for this year's hay crop.     I have been reflecting more on the truth and freedom of Yeshua's command:   Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth,  where moth and rust destroy,  and where thieves break in and steal.   But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,  where neither moth nor rust destroys,  and whe...

2025 Moedim - Appointed Times

By
Here in Australia it's spring but in the northern hemisphere the feasts at this time of year are known as the 'fall feasts' - Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot.   Yom Teruah Teaching It's new moon, Yom Teruah and we are anticipating Yom Kippur and the joy of Sukkot.  It's time for shouting, rejoicing, repenting and preparation - all in expectation to meet our King, our Messiah!  We put up banners, decorate our sukkah, fill the fridges and light the fires.   We will rejoice, we will enjoy each other's company but most of all, we know we will bless our Father with our obedience and He in turn will bless us. See you there!

Sukkot 2025

By
When the sun set on the 8th day of Sukkot there was much to be grateful for.  It was a week of joy and laughter, and serious reflection.  I sit here trying to put into a succinct paragraph all that transpired but suffice to say, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, our Abba, met with us, encouraged and refined us. We were joined by a brother and sister from Western Australia - family in the Messiah that we just hadn't met yet.  We look forward to meeting many more of Yeshua's community in the years to come!   We love to praise - I mean we really love to sing and shout His praises.  We do our best to do as David instructs and maybe we're not as skilful or harmonious, but we certainly are joyful!  The praise and teaching times were recorded to YouTube if you want a refresher.  Like I said, we might not be polished in sound or technique, but we are uncompromising in our devotion to Him and His Word. Sukkot Worship & Teaching    YHV...
