Sukkot 2013 - Over and Out

This passing week of Sukkot has been a wonderful time of fellowship with those who could stay the entire time, as well as many others popping in for a visit or a few days here and there.

How blessed are we to be able to come together with a few like-minded disciples of Yeshua and celebrate the ways and instructions of YHVH.

I've thrown together a few photos from Christine's camera to give you a brief overview of our activities:

We were blessed to have 13 lambs born over the past few weeks so they required tagging and vaccinating.

Now when you leave grown men together in a room with nurf guns it's bound to get a little ugly.

A highlight of our time together is always the "Hebron Follies", where young and old alike are given the opportunity to delight this captive audience. Our MC for this year was Christine and she is a natural so will probably retain this role for many years to come! Unfortunately she was also the chief photographer for the week so I don't have a photo with her in it either.

The other annual Sukkot event is the game of cricket by the dam. Lord's cricket ground would not have a more spectacular view, nor on field entertainment.

Visitors and excited little faces ....

For me, entering shabbat together is always a delight. Our expressions are a little different from family to family so it's such a blessing to be able to enter into shabbat as a community at times like this.

As our hearts are continually focused on the coming again of our Messiah Yeshua we are being moulded and guided by the Spirit of YHVH. It's a joy and blessing to be led on the path of observing Torah and embracing the ways of our Creator!

Nehemiah 10:28 "The rest of the people, the cohanim, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the temple servants and all who had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the Torah of YHVH, along with their wives, sons and daughters, everyone capable of knowing and understanding, ³⁰⁽²⁹⁾joined their kinsmen and their leaders in swearing an oath, accompanied by a curse [in case of noncompliance], as follows:

“We will live by God’s Torah, given by Moshe the servant of God, and will perform and obey all the mitzvot, rulings and laws of YHVH our Adoni".

Moedim Preparations

Spring Festival Preparations For us in the southern hemisphere Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot falls in spring. I might be biased but I think we're pretty blessed to have the new year begin when there's new life and blossom appearing. On the other hand the weather and wind can be a unpredictable but hey, it keeps it real for Sukkot! This year there's the anticipation of celebrating Sukkot and all that it prophetically points to, but there is a longing to fellowship with our Father and bless Him, listen to Him and enjoy His family. Yakira and I have been excited with the very real expectation that for us there will be a freshness and new life so we have been busy making sure the fellowship home and gardens reflect this. So we not only make physical preparations but we prepare our hearts. Yom Teruah has been, Yom Kippur is upon us and Sukkot is before us. Looking forward to seeing you all drive through our gates!

Misty Moments

July 2023 I've had a long hiatus in updating the blog but after some prompting I thought I'd pop up a short video. Yakira and I took some short clips of some of us and we'll do that regularly from now on. Every month our fellowship meets at Hebron to worship, to honour Shabbat, to enjoy each other's company and to maintain and develop the property. Those who can stay overnight so we can have more time to be together. It may seem an odd concept for regular church goers but it's entirely natural for us and something we look forward to. Eating together, hanging out, working and worshipping together all develops relationships, hones personalities and gives the Ruach time to refine and encourage us. This month was a delightful wintery, misty weekend. We are at the end of the Mount Lofty ranges so when the cloud sits low it's like being in your own private little world. Brendan and Neal worked on fixing the house water tank and John was relegated to the tract

Sukkot 2023 - The Winter is Past...

The voice of my lover. Behold, He is coming Leaping over the mountains, springing over the hills My lover is like a gazelle or a young buck among the stags Look! He is standing behind our wall, gazing through the windows Peering through the lattice. In response my lover said to me, "Get yourself up, my darling my pretty one, and come. Come! For behold, the winter is past, the rain is over, it's gone. Blossoms appear in the land and the time of singing has come... Song of Songs 2 * * * What a blessed time we had over Sukkot here at Hebron. A few weeks before the start of the festival I was impacted by the understanding that our Creator and Father anticipates meeting with His children more than we anticipate meeting with Him. His love, His desire to meet with us individually and as a fellowship far surpasses ours, to a degree that it is impossible for us to comprehend. And meet with Him we did. The moed are His. His appointments with people who call on His Name, ob
