"I said that the Sabbath was created for man, not man for the Sabbath. Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath." I said this in response to the Pharisees who saw my disciples plucking the heads of grain in the fields. The Pharisees accused My disciples of doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath. The Pharisees did not understand that I created the Sabbath as a day of rest, not a day of rules. It is My joy to give My beloved rest and to see them enjoy a day that is not filled with the duties of work. My Father rested on the seventh day.
Thank Me for the rest I give to you. Whenever you cease from your own labors, you have the opportunity to focus completely on Me. Most of you can enjoy a whole weekend away from your usual work. Use the seventh day, Saturday, as a day of rest instead of a day filled with shopping and chores. Use the first day of the week, Sunday, to focus on Me and to fellowship with your brothers and sisters who love Me. I am not a legalist. In fact, every day is My day - a day to fellowship with Me, a day to share My love with others, and a day to be renewed by My Word.
I am the Lord of your days and I love it when you thank Me in the morning for a new day. Every day is a day to know My presence with you and a day to respond to My presence with joy, praise, and worship.
MARK 2:23-27; GENESIS 2:2-4

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.
