Pesach 2016

By


Hebron was full of life, laughter and joy when we gathered together to share in the Pesach meal together.  Falling on a Friday evening it was a busy and hectic week for everyone to be organised and come together in time but it was well worth the effort.  We were also joined by Kerry and Alan from Ballarat way, which made it even more special.





On the Monday previous we had several of our flock slaughtered by a mobile butcher in preparation for Pesach.  This was the first time we've processed the sheep this way and even though it is slightly more expensive it was worth it for humane reasons and the less running around.  It was also the first time we spit roasted a lamb and as complete novices it was a day fraught with drama keeping the beast where it should be, but at the end of the day it roasted up perfectly and in time.

 Quite a few of our group were able to stay the night so we could continue fellowship for Shabbat.  It was a perfect day of fellowship, relaxation and praising our Messiah, Yeshua.  During our time of praise the kindness and compassion of Yehovah was evidenced in Him manifesting His presence to minister to us, bringing liberty, revelation and healing.  How amazing is His mercy and love!  Lives touched; never to be the same.  Hallelu Yah, Yeshua our passover lamb lives to reign!


Some were able to stay another night so we could spend another day together to complete some necessary tasks, such as weaning off the lambs from the flock.  There's always tasks to complete and maintenance to be attended to but it's even better when you can complete these with friends.

It's weekends like this that Hebron comes into its own.  The house is full, kids are enjoying the great outdoors, dogs are having a ball (except mine who goes into OCD overdrive) and the property is slowly but steadily being developed.
One of the jobs we will need to do over the next month or so is planting out more tree seedlings.  Tree planting is one of those jobs no one jumps for joy over but the benefits are incalculable.  We're waiting for more rain so the subsoil moisture will sustain the seedlings.

All praise to Him from whom all blessings flow!

Moedim Preparations

By
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

By
 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...

By
  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
