Blessings

By
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.

Joy Comes in the Morning

By
  For over a year South Australia and Victoria have been in drought.  Dams are dry, crops have failed and trees are dying.   When the community bought the property 19 years ago we invested in sinking a bore to ensure water security.  The water quality is good enough to water the stock and our gardens.  We also have large rainwater tanks which have kept water to the house.  However, if the drought had of continued we would have hooked the house up to the bore water as well.    We had stored enough hay to feed our sheep and alpacas and they were well fed.  Investment in the infrastructure has been a big expense in both finances and labour over the years, but it's in years like this that it's well worth it.  It brings so much joy to see the green grass and gardens when the paddocks are bare and dry.   Praise YHVH, the rains came last week!   We have received 40ml over the last couple of weeks and more is on the...

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.

Pesach 2025

By
It was such a blessing for our community to come together at Hebron  for the Pesach meal and the first day of unleavened bread.   We are not a big community in the Adelaide Hills but we are testifying that  Yeshua is the Messiah and walking in His ways.  There are so many individuals or families that don't have a Messianic fellowship that they can be part of because of geographic distances - or even theological distances.  Our desire is to see Messianic fellowships form and develop in many more parts of Australia so that the sheep of His pasture are fed, nurtured and protected. The Good News of Messiah and His kingdom has been hidden and misconstrued since the early times but the Ruach is revealing truth - the truth that sets His people free.      So as we come together in obedience to observe the moed, whether it's a couple here or a big fellowship over there, we are encouraged and built up in Him as we run the race that He has set before ...
