Good morning Brethren,
We are hoping the first day of the work week is headed in a good direction for you all.
Some of the old timers are noticing some of the early winter flowers popping out around the Promised Land. Good job guys! They too have their part in the Biblical patterns of the Abib Growing Cycle each and every year as it was all placed in them, and their location, by our Creators. Yes, the US of Genesis.
For the new comers, there are two distinct wild flower growing seasons encased in the "winter" of the Land. The first commences in October and runs up into the end of December and beginning of January and then the second one starts. Each has its own varieties of wild flowers and marks a defining separation to the first and second parts of the winter. There are several species which bridge the two seasons. We will address this in more detail as we move through the winter growing cycle in the Land as we do each year.
Their timing coincided with specific stages in the growth cycle of barley there, just as it always has and still is. As They promised, They will never leave nor forsake us.
So today I have included a number of the early varieties growing at this time in the cycle photographed in the past 2 days.
At the end of those pictures I have included one which needs to be inspected to gain some experience. It was taken yesterday. Look for some of the signs present in the location; such as the time of day based on the sun, what is growing in the field, was this field turned, was it a self sown field from a previous year, any signs of irrigation, etc. If you would like to comment on it send me an email at abibfellowship@gmail.com
On another note I am asking that you send up some prayers on behalf of another member of the Body, Alan McDougal. He is a brother who has been a part of the Abib Calendar information spread for several decades. He is what you would call an "old farmer" and "old herder" as he and his wife Jan raised thousands of sheep and farmed thousands of acres of barley, wheat, and canola in Australia. He has suffered a stroke and for the past several months has gone through a farmers nightmare. He may never regain the ability to walk and for a farmer that can be worst than death and the separation from loved ones. Their lives have been turned upside down to say the least. Please ask Father to extend the healing powers of the Elohim in his life, and that if there is a lesson to be learned in this that he is granted an expeditious understanding in that and move on in his calling.
Our peace we give to you.
