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.

Sukkot in the Adelaide Hills

By
  With the autumn feasts upon us I was reflecting on Sukkot last year and how the year since has been full of YHVH's blessings and encouragements.   The HTTN community purchased the property nearly 19 years ago and we have worked hard to develop it.  There is still much to be done so that it can facilitate the purposes that YHVH wants for it but He has proven Himself faithful to His word over the years.  Not a minute too late, not a minute too soon.   We are looking forward to celebrating Yom Teruah next week and then Sukkot a few weeks later.  Hebron will once again be filled with the sound of shofars, singing and laughter.  Yes, there have been times of weeping and even then He proves Himself merciful and faithful. Hallelu Yah!

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...

Shalom with Messiah

In a few weeks we will begin the next phase of the moed with Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot.  As with every year, we are eagerly anticipating this time with YHVH and the community in the Adelaide Hills.   One thing we say every year is that we long for the day when the wider Messianic community come together at Sukkot to celebrate with praise, feasting and fellowship.  It would seem that the Messianic community is relatively young and scattered in Australia and in the early days we would at times wonder if there was anyone else responding to the call to come out of the Christian church system and return to the ancient paths.  And of course there were and are. It's always so exciting when we meet another person or family who are on the same path and we can rejoice together.  We all have different stories, backgrounds and experiences but the common and binding truth is that YHVH is love and that love is expressed not only in His redemption but in the fullness o...
