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.

ELEVATE/ ALLEVIATE

Both elevate and alleviate are words that mean to lift higher or to lighten a load.  During these troublesome times in your nation, the only way to help keep you from being anxious and fearful is to elevate your thoughts.

If you concentrate on all the negative things in your daily news, your mind will be quickly submerged in a deep ocean of worry.  The way to fight fear and anxiety is to be intentional and think about those things mentioned in Philippians 4:8.  This passage exhorts you to think on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous, and praiseworthy.  

A quick way to alleviate discouragement and distress is to set your affection on things that are above,  not on things on the earth. Remind yourself that you are in this world, but not of this world.

PHILIPPIANS 4:8; COLOSSIANS 3:2; JOHN 16:33
