Sweet Summer 16

By

This year our gatherings  have been hampered by the COVID restrictions so unfortunately Hebron has been quieter than normal, so I thought it's about time I posted an update on what has been happening up here.

Sunrise on cloudy days are spectacular!
A local farmer is agisting sheep here for the summer and they
regularly put a side of lamb in the freezer.  Win/win!

The bees always look for summer flowering so we will continue to plant trees
and bushes that flower each season.

For the first time last year we entered a share-farm agreement with a young bloke to cut hay.  It was a learning curve for both of us but it will definitely be of benefit to us financially and a blessing to see the land producing.

 
 Every necessary task that gets completed adds value to Hebron and increases its usability.The guys are currently erecting a fence line around my place, Tikvah and now my dog won't have to share her water bowl with the sheep this year! 
 

Sometimes, like today, the wind makes being outside decidedly unpleasant, or it's way too hot to do any work but there's a water leak to be attended to, or the sheep have decided that fences are optional.  But there are also days that end with a beautiful sunset this like one and you can just stand there and bless YHVH.

We have been stewards of this land for 16 years now and in that time Hebron has seen an incredible amount of development.  This year we want to finish the new garden area, which will add a beautiful space to sit and enjoy, and an added dimension to Hebron's purpose.  I'm hoping we'll be able to have it finished and be looking gorgeous for Sukkot for this year.

 I know I say it all the time, but how blessed are we that YHVH has led us along this journey of community to develop relationships and hone our characters so we reflect His nature and not our own.  Hebron has been and will continue to be instrumental in that process; such is the wisdom of YHVH.

Praise Him for His kindness!

Where Your Treasure Is.....

By
Life has changed for our community and we are now split between two geographic locations - Salem and Mildura - with a few of us coming and going between them.   When the scripture says we are an 'unusual people', that certainly has an added layer for our community!      We are full of anticipation of what YHVH will pour out for the people of Australia, particularly the towns along the Murray River and Victoria.     But coming home to Hebron is always so good for the soul. Open skies - Open spaces   So lovely to see water in the top dam, grass emerging and  paddocks been sown for this year's hay crop.     I have been reflecting more on the truth and freedom of Yeshua's command:   Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth,  where moth and rust destroy,  and where thieves break in and steal.   But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,  where neither moth nor rust destroys,  and whe...

2025 Moedim - Appointed Times

By
Here in Australia it's spring but in the northern hemisphere the feasts at this time of year are known as the 'fall feasts' - Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot.   Yom Teruah Teaching It's new moon, Yom Teruah and we are anticipating Yom Kippur and the joy of Sukkot.  It's time for shouting, rejoicing, repenting and preparation - all in expectation to meet our King, our Messiah!  We put up banners, decorate our sukkah, fill the fridges and light the fires.   We will rejoice, we will enjoy each other's company but most of all, we know we will bless our Father with our obedience and He in turn will bless us. See you there!

Sukkot 2025

By
When the sun set on the 8th day of Sukkot there was much to be grateful for.  It was a week of joy and laughter, and serious reflection.  I sit here trying to put into a succinct paragraph all that transpired but suffice to say, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, our Abba, met with us, encouraged and refined us. We were joined by a brother and sister from Western Australia - family in the Messiah that we just hadn't met yet.  We look forward to meeting many more of Yeshua's community in the years to come!   We love to praise - I mean we really love to sing and shout His praises.  We do our best to do as David instructs and maybe we're not as skilful or harmonious, but we certainly are joyful!  The praise and teaching times were recorded to YouTube if you want a refresher.  Like I said, we might not be polished in sound or technique, but we are uncompromising in our devotion to Him and His Word. Sukkot Worship & Teaching    YHV...
