Being a small community of like-minded believers we're perfectly situated to see and appreciate the growth in our relationships, understanding and application of the scriptures as well as the physical improvements here at Hebron. These incremental changes can sometimes be overlooked or under-appreciated but as we pause to reflect on the journey and allow our gratefulness to ascend as a prayer our eyes are opened and our hearts expanded.
As the cycle of feasts begin with Passover in a few weeks we are once again reminded of the redemptive and meaningful nature of these moed. We don't observe them as a matter of ritual, but as a powerful way of life. How tempting it is to cloak the set apart times with tradition and ritual and miss the opportunity for the Ruach HaKodesh to wrought a good work in our lives. Passover is a time of celebration that the Messiah, Yeshua, has come and will come again; the following feast of unleavened bread, when we are mindful and responsive to rid our lives of the leaven that spoils. This is a season of growth, rejoicing and gratitude. Just like our oak tree, we are being planted by the streams of living water and our roots are slowly but surely becoming established in the ways of Yehovah, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Last week the solar panels were installed on the shed roof and they're up and running. We're just waiting for the electrician to install the meter box but it's pretty cool to watch the meter spin backwards at the moment!
John took advantage of a free few hours and dug out the top dam a foot or two. This excellent dirt will be moved over to the vegie patch area to be put to good use. As you can see the dam is rather shallow so taking the opportunity to dig out a few feet while it's dry just makes good sense.
Over the last couple of weeks we've had 5 or 6 lambs born so we'll have to bring them in soon to tag and vaccinate them. Whenever I stand at the gate and watch them I am amazed at how blessed we are and marvel at this journey that Yehovah has brought us on. What a privilege it is to observe the feasts on a property where we can spend time together and appreciate the agrarian nature of torah!
Shalom
