Pastor Ron Swanson delivered a tremendous Mother's Day message today over at the Calgary Life Church. On my occasional appearances at this growing congregation I sensed this man of strong presence hovering in the background with a certain sense of modesty. Pastor Anthony had introduced him as somebody whom had joined the team. With Pastors Anthony and Madeleine's trip to Israel, Pastor Ron shone in the spot light in a day devoted to mothers. Inherent to the theme of his message was the closeness to God one feels when witnessing the expression of love between mother and child. He reminded mothers that the slightest gestures of kindness and love do not go unnoticed in the minds of family and God. Scripture was cited in capturing the fierce loyalty and protective instinct that mother's have in guarding their young and Pastor Ron reminded men that it is not indifference from their wives during times of much motherly work, but the burden of their calling which on occasion leaves fathers feeling afar.
