It didn't really hit me until this morning, when I walked up the steps to the Cheongshim Peace World Center and saw two giant banners with True Father's portraits hanging on each side of the main entrance.
The first day of receiving well-wishers at the World Center is off to a good start. Members of the True Family are taking turns greeting guests, with the International President's couple taking the first two-hour shift.
People are coming in an orderly fashion. The Korea Unification Church headquarters yesterday sent out a schedule showing each region when they should come. Members of the 36-Couple Blessing and other senior couples were the first to pay their respects starting at 8 am.
