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.
Every day I will praise you
and extol your name for ever and ever.
Great is YHVH and most worthy of praise;
his greatness no one can fathom.
One generation commends your works to another;
they tell of your mighty acts.
They speak of the glorious splendour of your majesty—
and I will meditate on your wonderful works.
They tell of the power of your awesome works—
and I will proclaim your great deeds.
They celebrate your abundant goodness
and joyfully sing of your righteousness.

Moedim Preparations

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

 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...

  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
