Wonderful Winter

Celebrating the culmination of Trevor's sixth decade was as good an excuse as any to light a camp fire and enjoy the starry night. Thanks Guac!

Some days I light a small fire and just sit and feel incredibly blessed by the beauty and shalom here at Hebron; snatches of time to be in His presence without the interruptions and demands of life.

Fencing is now a priority and will be on the 'to-do' list for a few months to come. The guys are doing a great job and not only will it facilitate easier flock handling, it adds value to the property.

Even though the paddocks look green we are hanging out for more rain. We received nearly 30ml this month, which is a blessing, but we are preparing for a dry spring and summer and managing our flock size will be very important.

With views like this it's not a bad way to spend a weekend!

When we took ownership of Hebron over 9 years ago there little eaten down saplings, hardly 15cm high. Now they've grown sufficiently to provide a great hiding spot for Yakira!

I've enjoyed planting various garden beds and watching them grow and take shape; a bit like us all really ....

In a couple of months we will be gathering together to celebrate the festival of Sukkot. As we prepare Hebron for celebrations we too are prepared for that final Great Day by entering into the message and beauty of the preceding moed; Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur.

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.

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
