Maker of the heavens and earth...

Today is the June solstice. Some will worship the creation, but we worship the Maker of the heavens and the earth:

Psalm 146

Praise YHWH!
Praise YHWH, O my soul!

2I will praise YHWH while I live;
I will sing praises to my Elohim while I have my being.

3Do not trust in princes,
In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.

4His spirit departs, he returns to the earth;
In that very day his thoughts perish.

5How blessed is he whose help is the Elohim of Jacob,
Whose hope is in YHWH, his Elohim,

      6Who made heaven and earth,
            The sea and all that is in them;
            Who keeps faith forever;

      7Who executes justice for the oppressed;
            Who gives food to the hungry.
            YHWH sets the prisoners free.

      8YHWH opens the eyes of the blind;
          YHWH raises up those who are bowed down;
            YHWH loves the righteous;

      9YHWH protects the strangers;
            He supports the fatherless and the widow,
            But He thwarts the way of the wicked.

      10YHWH will reign forever,
            Your Elohim, O Zion, to all generations.
            Praise YHWH!

Our yet to be named alpaca and the flock. Check out their nice fat tails and round backsides - the green feed is obviously doing them well. (Of course one has to wonder why that can't be appropriate for all of us!) There's a few ewes who are ready to drop their lambs very soon, with some so big they may be carrying twins.

This cheeky young shag (darter) has made our bottom dam his home and has probably made short work of Brendan's fish.

I'm looking forward to next weekend when we will be together up here at our rural home. May YHWH give us good weather so we can enjoy being outside and tick off some chores.

Shabbat Shalom and may His mercy and compassion rest on His beloved Israel.

Sukkot 2024

The Healing to the Nations fellowship came together to celebrate Sukkot here at Hebron and what a blessed time it was. It seems that since Sukkot life and work got crazy busy so an update on our time together slipped off the priority list. But as I reflect back on our time together and what has transpired since then I am again encouraged. There was a flurry of preparation in the meeting room and sukkah, and Hebron was ready for a big week of fellowship, praise and times with our King and Adonai. Although there was one big disappointment because I could not locate the flags that we line the driveway with. Colourful flags will definitely make an appearance for Sukkot 2025 though. Not everyone was able to come up at Sukkot and they were missed but there is always next year. Father Yehovah's wisdom in establishing the annual feasts is such a powerful prophetic witness and joy for Messiah's body. The highlight of Sukkot is always spending time under the sukkah in the ...

Blessed Dry Times

In Australia it's summer time. In South Australia it's particularly dry and there is a real possibility of below average rainfall for the autumn season as well. This is not unusual for our part of the country. It's part of the natural cycles and here at Hebron we take the necessary preparations. The dams are drying up but we have plenty of rainwater in the tanks and a bore that draws up water from 60 metres below, so for a short dry spell we are well prepared. We have enough dry feed in the paddocks and bales of hay for the flock of sheep to get us through this dry season. I'm actually grateful for this dry spell this month because it means that the evil caltrop has not germinated, saving me from a lot of work. Caltrop (think the most evil version of a three-corner jack!) needs higher temperatures and good spring rains to germinate - usually in early December. Caltrop and I will continue our battle if we get rain before the summer ends though! B...

Sheep of His Pasture

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.
