Sukkot 2017

By
Sukkot was a wonderful time of fun, fellowship and friendship.  Hebron was filled with the noise of children, chatter, music, motorbikes, dogs and the ding-dong of the mealtime bell.  It was busy, it was chaotic and it was marvellous.
 
 
We had daily times of scripture and prayer, and weather permitting we sat under the sukkah.   It's these times that bring such encouragement on our journey along this narrow road.  
 

 


Sukkot is a wonderful opportunity to put the busyness of life aside for a while to renew our hope in the coming of Messiah Yeshua and celebrate His lovingkindness and mercy.
 
 
What a blessing Hebron is.  We had perfect weather for a picnic by the dam and kite flying, and of course the annual cricket match.
 
 


And Sukkot at Hebron wouldn't be the same without the Hebron Follies!  We were entertained by musical prowess, wit and humour.
 
 
 During our evenings we chatted through the first few chapters of Romans but we're always up for some good natured competition so quiz nights proved very popular.
 
 
 During the week we completed a few tasks, had a bonfire and enjoyed Hebron because we had such lovely weather.  Surely we are the most blessed of people to have such a property and accommodation where we can come together for Yehovah's festivals.
The name Hebron loosely means to unit, to join, society or friendship and our Hebron facilitates exactly that.  The development of community is vital in our Father's plans for the body of Messiah.  His Ruach refines us as individuals and knits us together so that His Name and Word is made alive in us and through us. 
 

So thanks everyone for making Sukkot so enjoyable this year.  For those who couldn't make it because of sickness and life commitments, you were very missed.  
 
May Yehovah continue to refine us as a community and personally so that we are made ready for that Day when Yeshua comes to reign from Jerusalem.
 
Bless His mighty and awesome Name!

Sukkot 2024

By
The Healing to the Nations fellowship came together to celebrate Sukkot here at Hebron and what a blessed time it was. It seems that since Sukkot life and work got crazy busy so an update on our time together slipped off the priority list.  But as I reflect back on our time together and what has transpired since then I am again encouraged. There was a flurry of preparation in the meeting room and sukkah, and Hebron was ready for a big week of fellowship, praise and times with our King and Adonai.  Although there was one big disappointment because I could not locate the flags that we line the driveway with.  Colourful flags will definitely make an appearance for Sukkot 2025 though. Not everyone was able to come up at Sukkot and they were missed but there is always next year.  Father Yehovah's wisdom in establishing the annual feasts is such a powerful prophetic witness and joy for Messiah's body. The highlight of Sukkot is always spending time under the sukkah in the ...

Blessed Dry Times

By
In Australia it's summer time.  In South Australia it's particularly dry and there is a real possibility of below average rainfall for the autumn season as well.  This is not unusual for our part of the country.  It's part of the natural cycles and here at Hebron we take the necessary preparations.  The dams are drying up but we have plenty of rainwater in the tanks and a bore that draws up water from 60 metres below, so for a short dry spell we are well prepared. We have enough dry feed in the paddocks and bales of hay for the flock of sheep to get us through this dry season.  I'm actually grateful for this dry spell this month because it means that the evil caltrop has not germinated, saving me from a lot of work.  Caltrop (think the most evil version of a three-corner jack!) needs higher temperatures and good spring rains to germinate - usually in early December.  Caltrop and I will continue our battle if we get rain before the summer ends though! B...

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.
