Deep and Meaningful Dirt

By
This weekend I spent the day turning over a mulch pile and creating a new garden bed for a heap of raspberry canes that were given to me.


All that digging gives you time to ponder the secrets of the universe and the solution to world peace....or reflect on the immensity of Yehovah's love and mercy and how that has manifested through the nation of Israel.  Which then leads to more thoughts about how our little plot of land here in the Adelaide Hills relates to the bigger scheme of things.  Which then leads one to reflect on how this little plot of land relates to our fellowship.


Investing time, energy and finances into that which benefits the whole and endeavours to honour and reflect Yehovah's instruction for community brings its own eternal reward.  

Of course being able to enjoy a rural setting and see it develop has immense satisfaction of its own, and gathering together to celebrate the sabbath and the moedim here is blessing as well. 

In six months' time we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary.  This in itself causes me to reflect on our initial hopes and dreams for this property, however, being in Israel highlighted similarities that gives rise to more reflection...I sense more time on the shovel coming up!

This weekend the fellowship will be gathering here at Hebron to celebrate the sabbath together - looking forward to seeing you all come up the driveway again.

Shalom

Joy Comes in the Morning

By
  For over a year South Australia and Victoria have been in drought.  Dams are dry, crops have failed and trees are dying.   When the community bought the property 19 years ago we invested in sinking a bore to ensure water security.  The water quality is good enough to water the stock and our gardens.  We also have large rainwater tanks which have kept water to the house.  However, if the drought had of continued we would have hooked the house up to the bore water as well.    We had stored enough hay to feed our sheep and alpacas and they were well fed.  Investment in the infrastructure has been a big expense in both finances and labour over the years, but it's in years like this that it's well worth it.  It brings so much joy to see the green grass and gardens when the paddocks are bare and dry.   Praise YHVH, the rains came last week!   We have received 40ml over the last couple of weeks and more is on the...

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.

Pesach 2025

By
It was such a blessing for our community to come together at Hebron  for the Pesach meal and the first day of unleavened bread.   We are not a big community in the Adelaide Hills but we are testifying that  Yeshua is the Messiah and walking in His ways.  There are so many individuals or families that don't have a Messianic fellowship that they can be part of because of geographic distances - or even theological distances.  Our desire is to see Messianic fellowships form and develop in many more parts of Australia so that the sheep of His pasture are fed, nurtured and protected. The Good News of Messiah and His kingdom has been hidden and misconstrued since the early times but the Ruach is revealing truth - the truth that sets His people free.      So as we come together in obedience to observe the moed, whether it's a couple here or a big fellowship over there, we are encouraged and built up in Him as we run the race that He has set before ...
