Beginning of Months For You ....

By
Exodus 12: 1  Now YHVH said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, 2“This month shall be the beginning of months for you; it is to be the first month of the year to you.

 I find it interesting that YHVH said "to you".  Not to the nations around, but to His chosen people, Israel.  This lunar calendar sets apart those who keep His ways and reminds them cyclically and constantly that the Messiah is YHVH's redemptive love to mankind and it is through Him alone that salvation is entered into.  How merciful, how amazing and what wisdom!


Next week we will be gathering here at Hebron to celebrate Pesach, giving thanks for Yeshua our Messiah.  What a blessing that we can come together as a family on the property that we are stewards for.  For those who are able we will be staying overnight and enjoying part of the special sabbath together.  

Hebron homestead has 8 huge bedrooms with bedding for 25 people, 3 large living areas and 3 bathrooms so plenty of room for our little community.  And that's not counting the pull out beds and caravans!  


 One of the aims for Hebron is for it to have the ability to sustain us should we have need.  To this end I enjoy keeping chooks in my hotch potch chook pen and and growing a few veges.  I'm inspired to develop the vege garden and would love to see it producing boxes of veges every week.

Lately my veges, eggs and meat have come from Hebron....one less reason to go into town!

We sent off a trailer load of wethers to the market earlier this month.  Unfortunately the price was so poor that I was quite dejected.  This has given us the opportunity to discuss continuing with the Damara flock and if we do then perhaps we need to market and sell the lamb ourselves rather than be at the mercy of the saleyards.  

Even though the last six months has been very dry our flock has done extremely well and the Damara breed have proven their worth in that regard.  However, we do pray for the seasonal rains to come during April and replenish the soil and provide good pasture.
Being tied to the land and climate, apart from being a wonderful balm for the soul, has the added blessing of being reliant on our Creator and keeping us in touch with His calendar. 

May we all be blessed in Yeshua as we look forward to Pesach next week!

Shalom

Where Your Treasure Is.....

By
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

By
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

By
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...
