SOMMER FAMILY BLESSING

Welcome to the blog for Linda Sommer.

My Blog will cover three subjects:

WORD FROM THE LORD, FAMILY, and MINISTRY.

WORD FROM THE LORD
Every day I spend time with the Lord in the morning and He speaks to my heart words that are encouraging, exhorting and sometimes rebuking.

At first, I felt not to share these words with others, but then I realized I am just one of His followers. There are many people who need a word daily from the Lord, but they do not have the time to seek Him. This is why I decided to share the words I received from time to time. The messages are in first person as the the Lord relayed them to my spirtual ears.

FAMILY
We have three sons and nine grandchildren. There is something new happening all the time in the Sommer family. I will post some of these events of interest.

MINISTRY
Tom and I have traveled the world. To find out more about our ministry you may consult our webpage -

I will keep you updated on future speaking enagements and ministry developments.

FORBEARANCE AND LONGSUFFERING

JUST A QUICK NOTE - the background to the blog is different, but everything else is the same. We will try to get a more pleasing background next week. They said we could no longer use our background. I may miss a few days since I will not have a computer with me, but I will resume daily when possible.

Forbearance and longsuffering are two of the aspects of My character that are the most difficult to develop. Forbearance is the ability in My strength to lovingly accept others along with all of their peculiarities. Longsuffering is the ability with My strength to joyfully endure trials with patience. You definitely need the help of My Holy Spirit to develop these character traits, but they both are essential for My body on earth to represent Me in a sterling way.

Pray today and ask the Holy Spirit to help you develop these characteristics. Most everyday you will encounter peculiar people because, after all, Christians are called peculiar people. Most every day you will run into a difficult, trying situation where longsuffering is needed. When you encounter these people and situations, call upon My strength.

EPHESIANS 4:2
