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

Sukkot 2024

By
The Healing to the Nations fellowship came together to celebrate Sukkot here at Hebron and what a blessed time it was. It seems that since Sukkot life and work got crazy busy so an update on our time together slipped off the priority list.  But as I reflect back on our time together and what has transpired since then I am again encouraged. There was a flurry of preparation in the meeting room and sukkah, and Hebron was ready for a big week of fellowship, praise and times with our King and Adonai.  Although there was one big disappointment because I could not locate the flags that we line the driveway with.  Colourful flags will definitely make an appearance for Sukkot 2025 though. Not everyone was able to come up at Sukkot and they were missed but there is always next year.  Father Yehovah's wisdom in establishing the annual feasts is such a powerful prophetic witness and joy for Messiah's body. The highlight of Sukkot is always spending time under the sukkah in the ...

Blessed Dry Times

By
In Australia it's summer time.  In South Australia it's particularly dry and there is a real possibility of below average rainfall for the autumn season as well.  This is not unusual for our part of the country.  It's part of the natural cycles and here at Hebron we take the necessary preparations.  The dams are drying up but we have plenty of rainwater in the tanks and a bore that draws up water from 60 metres below, so for a short dry spell we are well prepared. We have enough dry feed in the paddocks and bales of hay for the flock of sheep to get us through this dry season.  I'm actually grateful for this dry spell this month because it means that the evil caltrop has not germinated, saving me from a lot of work.  Caltrop (think the most evil version of a three-corner jack!) needs higher temperatures and good spring rains to germinate - usually in early December.  Caltrop and I will continue our battle if we get rain before the summer ends though!

Sheep of His Pasture

By
The guys have been out fixing fences so that our flock can move into the paddock.  The roos have a tendency to break fences and dig holes so it's an ongoing chore unfortunately.  Whilst it's rather nice to see them out in the paddocks, and to see when the joeys emerge from the pouch, it can be frustrating as well. Moving the flock into a different paddock is always one of my favourite things to do because you get to give them a closer check and they're always excited about going into a fresh paddock.   So late in the afternoon last Friday I thought, why not share it with you as well.  Enjoy a quick visit to Hebron and I pray that wherever you are, in whatever pasture our Father YHVH has you, that you are blessed and experiencing His overshadowing kindness.
