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.

Where Your Treasure Is.....

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

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! 

Practical Deeds .... Spiritual Dividends

The practical outworkings of our worship and obedience may look different from one individual to another, one family to another or one fellowship to another.  Here at Hebron it's a matter of looking after the land, stock, home and infrastructure to ensure that things are ticking along as they should in a timely manner; creating a refuge and oasis, now and for the future.  This week the flock were treated to some mineral blocks, which will provide necessary salts and minerals that they need to remain in tip top shape while they're lambing in the summer months.  The smaller top dam is well and truly dry but this would be the perfect time to get the tractor in there and dig it deeper, which would also have the bonus of providing good dirt for the vegie patch.  This dam is not spring fed so having it deeper would provide more water for next summer, provided it fills during the winter months. The vegie patch, or as I prefer to call it at times, the battlefie...
