Ravens & Eagles

By
It's such an awe-inspiring thing to watch the wedge-tailed eagles circling over Hebron's hills.  They don't always come and visit but on the weekend it was great to see them do their rounds.  I always feel very blessed to be living here to see YHWH's creatures come and go.  An old man 'roo took his time to watch me go about my chores and we discussed how great Hebron is looking and what our plans are for the future.  Well I discussed and he listened.
Would love to say I took this photo but I didn't :)
There's been quite a lot of bird activity lately and it's so rewarding to know that all the trees we've planted is creating a welcoming habitat.  There's been kestrels and magpies fighting over territory, a new bird that I haven't identified but has a lovely whistle, quails, swallows, willy wagtails, honey eaters, galahs, ravens, ducks, cockatoos, kookaburras, wattle birds, top knot pigeons, lorikeets, parrots and finches.  On a sunny morning there's nothing better than to sit outside with a cuppa waiting to see who will come and visit.

On Sunday I had great intentions to plant the lucerne trees but decided to create a garden bed at the laundry/carport entrance and lay some gravel instead.  I'm glad I did because the change is very satisfying, even though it's more for my pleasure than yours :)  Still a work in progress but I'll sow grass seed, lay more gravel and it will be a nice entrance.  I better not delay as I need to get the grass grown before the winds come and relocate the dirt!  The sides of the house become wind tunnels when the spring winds start to blow.  I also want to finish doing the other side of the house so that come Sukkot we've got a protected and functional barbeque area. 

With Sukkot only a couple of months away I'm looking forward to seeing Hebron blossom with people, prayers, praise, flowers, lambs and laughter.  Every year the importance and significance of keeping YHWH's moed increases for us and every year our Father reveals more of His truth and wonder.  These times together, joining with the commonwealth of Israel, celebrating His redemption and promises must bring Him great pleasure and we in turn are richly blessed.

There is great wisdom in the admonition to gather together during this special shabbats and we ignore them at our peril.  Whether we're able to gather with our own families, with two's, three's or large assemblies, there is great encouragement and blessing to be had.  The enemy of our souls is forever roaming around trying to distract,discourage, destroy and deceive, therefore our obedience is for our protection and advantage.  So I look forward to our times together at the upcoming moed here at Hebron with my fellow pilgrims.

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...
