Blessings

Considering there's been a few things happening up here at Hebron I thought a 
blog post would be appropriate.   You might notice that I've also included a new page Purposes of Hebron and earlier this year I updated the Recabite Living page.  I will also update the Journey page...eventually.

This winter has been awfully dry and the forecast is for a drier than normal spring as well.  So it's timely that we replaced one of our old and broken tanks with a bigger and better poly tank just in time for a decent rainfall of around 18ml.  Praise to Yehovah for His blessings! 
 

Last month we sold off 20 of our bigger, older ewes to reduce the load on our paddocks and to filter out our taller Damara ewes so there is a higher lambing rate with our Dorper rams.  We also put 2 lambs and 2 mutton ewes into the freezer.
 

One of the projects we've wanted to tick off the list for quite a while now is to redesign the front entrance.  There's a few little jobs to do (coat the posts with a preserver, trim the tops and install the new signage) but it's coming along nicely.
 

Unfortunately I didn't have as much time over the summer and autumn months to properly maintain the bee hives and the swarm I collected were inundated with ants and they took off.  Our two hives are doing okay and I gave them a quick check to make sure they were coping with the cold.  I fed them sugar syrup and I'll give them another batch this week to ensure they're strong and ready to do what bees do best when the spring hits.


Sukkot is only a couple of months away and we'll once again join together at Hebron to celebrate Yehovah's goodness, lovingkindness and wisdom.  Sukkot is a time for celebration, refocusing and hope - hope in the future and coming kingdom of Yeshua.  This life is temporary and the torah and apostolic writings are replete with reminders that our eyes are to be fixed on the age that is to come; not to be caught up in the worries, the customs and aspirations of the world around us.  What a blessing Sukkot is that we will once again have an opportunity to be reminded of this vital truth.

Over a year ago Yakira and I dreamt of how Hebron's fellowship house could  be updated and better suited to how we functioned as a messianic community.    We could see a fellowship room that had room to easily accommodate people and all the instruments.  Of course there had to be room to wave branches during Sukkot and the odd flag or two as well!  Being of the creative ilk we also wanted it to be aesthetically pleasing and could see the HTTN logo painted on a wall.   The design of the logo has evolved over time to reflect the mandate that YHVH has set for this part of His body in Adelaide.  Sonya devoted many hours to bring to life the visual expression of that mandate and Yakira redesigned the logo.    Why so much attention to a logo and visual expression of the mandate?  Because we as a community of torah-loving disciples of Messiah Yeshua have hearts that hold dreams and promises that are bigger than us as individuals or even co...

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...
