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.
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.
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.

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.
