Sukkot - Mid Week


 Hebron has proven her worth this week by providing a perfect venue for celebrating Sukkot.  We have so much room in the house and on the property for everyone to fellowship and have time to themselves, as well as  space for children to explore the property and play around the house.

Observing the moed of YHVH declares our love for Him and His ways; testifying of the greatness and wisdom of the Maker of the heavens and the earth.  These are a sign and a witness, not only for Israel but to the world around, of the redemptive love of Adoni and the coming again of Messiah.

I've thrown up some photos of the activities this week:

Scripture and prayer under the sukkot
Children making use of the kiddy play area
Wonder if we can fill the dam back up again with clay and stones?
Under the guidance of Nathan of Zarephath the orchard irrigation has been replumbed
Balmy nights under the verandah
The steer arrived, albeit a bit battered and bruised
Inaugural outing on the Red Lady 
Definitely a firm favourite
Beautiful days for everyone to enjoy
What's a festival without a bonfire?
And what's a bonfire with some coals for toasted marshmellows?  
This afternoon we're having a concert so I'll be sure to pop up some photos tomorrow of the excellent talent that we all enjoyed!

Shalom and blessings to all from here at Hebron.

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
