Summer Survival

By
When the sun beats down and the earth heats up, vigilance is our eagle's eye,
all the while humanity for Living Waters cry;
Fire trailer ready for action
Unexpected flowering in desert climes delight; 
Creator and created, testifying of His might.
Passionfruit's first flowering
 Daily bread and halakha, provisions of His love,
maintain an environment for the presence of His dove;
Provisioned and maintained workshop
 Covenental love and community ties provide,
safety and sustenance, where humility revokes pride;
Maintenance on the greenhouse and transplanting seedlings

 Each living stone integral to the other,
Messiah placing in His house, every sister, every brother;
Brendan's water tank level sensor

 While we wait for the Messiah's return and the age of peace,
faithful we'll remain until that great wedding feast.

Shalom in Yeshua our Messiah

    Now there's a novel approach, comment in verse, that not only tells the story of the day but also gives us a message of the Fathers love. Thanks Annette, John.

    You are a poet, Annette! I always look forward to ALL your blogs. Thanks for all your encouragements and reminders to keep keeping on. I reckon you could publish more articles and not only in blog formats but also in paper formats. :-) Thanks for keeping your watchful eye over Hebron. Have a great week till we meet! Love CP

Moedim Preparations

By
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

By
 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...

By
  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
