Singing in the Rain ...

Receiving rain in season is one of those events that produces joy and gratitude in everyone. Rainfall is something we cannot control and therefore we are at the complete mercy of the Creator of heaven and earth; the One who is the source of all life. Therefore the only appropriate response to the life-giving rain is praise and thanks.

The last couple of weeks we were blessed to receive 74mm and the soil has responded by producing the first flush of green feed.

Over the next few working days we will be working on improving the fencing to assist the easy movement of the flock and to ensure the rams only have access to the ewes when we determine.

I will be heading off to Israel with John, Carol and Glenys in a few weeks so I'll be focusing on getting things ready to make sure the chickens keep laying and the garden keeps growing. It's always a wrench to leave Hebron but coming home is a real joy and blessing.

Part of the blessing of Hebron is being able to share it with my family and watch the grandkids enjoy the space and freedom to experience what YHVH has created and blessed us with.

Without this small fellowship Hebron would just be a block of land. It is the coming together to enjoy fellowship and celebrate the moed that brings Hebron alive. Developing it to be a source of provision is a great way to develop relationships with people who have a common faith in Yeshua as the Messiah and the Ruach HaKodesh uses these times together to hone our characters, unite our hearts and exalt the name of YHVH.

In our busy lives with increased stressors and responsibilities, having the ability and time to come aside at Hebron allows our spirits to be refreshed and our relationships to be nurtured.

Psalm 145: I will exalt you, my God the King;

I will praise your name for ever and ever.

2 Every day I will praise you

and extol your name for ever and ever.

3 Great is YHVH and most worthy of praise;

his greatness no one can fathom.

4 One generation commends your works to another;

they tell of your mighty acts.

5 They speak of the glorious splendour of your majesty—

and I will meditate on your wonderful works.

6 They tell of the power of your awesome works—

and I will proclaim your great deeds.

7 They celebrate your abundant goodness

and joyfully sing of your righteousness.

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...

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...

Sukkot 2025

When the sun set on the 8th day of Sukkot there was much to be grateful for. It was a week of joy and laughter, and serious reflection. I sit here trying to put into a succinct paragraph all that transpired but suffice to say, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, our Abba, met with us, encouraged and refined us. We were joined by a brother and sister from Western Australia - family in the Messiah that we just hadn't met yet. We look forward to meeting many more of Yeshua's community in the years to come! We love to praise - I mean we really love to sing and shout His praises. We do our best to do as David instructs and maybe we're not as skilful or harmonious, but we certainly are joyful! The praise and teaching times were recorded to YouTube if you want a refresher. Like I said, we might not be polished in sound or technique, but we are uncompromising in our devotion to Him and His Word. Sukkot Worship & Teaching YHV...
