Here in the greater Philadelphia MSIA community, the Traveler and MSIA staff came at the end of April and first week of May and so our LovingFest began. First, weeks ahead of time, our Ministers were creating the best of the best loving care in all the teams for our MSIA family. Then Vincent, Angel, Jackie and Bruce arrived handling MSIA services during the week.<\/p>\n
The team with open arms greeted every arrival \u2013 and \u201cEmbraceable You\u201d became my heart song. Getting clear and squeaky cleaned up and royally hugged. And our food team, created yummy healthy lunches for these servants of God of the Travelers Team. More hugs.\u00a0 When I first arrived, it was wordless \u2013 embracing heart to heart with my Beloved\u2019s from California not seen in four years. The timeless loving was beyond words, just home again and again.<\/p>\n
Finally, Beloved John Morton the Traveler and beautiful Leigh Taylor-Young Morton arrived and more loving as my friends here were partaking of private counseling, and the weekend hadn\u2019t started yet!\u00a0 The Beloved\u2019s energy in the hotel became more palpable.<\/p>\n
Friday night, the local Ministerial board officiated at the conference center for our Ministers meeting, and it was the first time so many came together since before Covid.\u00a0 Different was being outside the room in the hallway, loving, greeting and embracing so many beloved friends as they arrived and watching everyone \u2013 casually greeting others, some going into the main room, others in conversation \u2013 but NO ONE, not anyone, rushing to get into the door to be first up front!\u00a0 Oh, did that touch my heart, the trusting of them all that God was in charge and we\u2019d all be taken cared of.<\/p>\n
For me personally, walking into the room, embracing one loved one after another, it was just one BELOVED family of God, West Coast and East Coast folks all together.\u00a0 Even the Ministers meeting sharing portion was different as personal sharings were \u201cQuaker style\u201d. We all sat in silence, holding the Light, and as the Spirit moved someone they\u2019d stand and share.\u00a0 It was creating such a sacred welcoming that even John was able to share personally.<\/p>\n
The next day, back to the same sacred sanctuary room, embracing even more folks, or the same ones, and the first event, the Peace Workshop was presented so professionally yet with the warmth of loving by Leigh, followed by John Morton\u2019s sharing. [This is already posted on TWI<\/a>.]\u00a0\u00a0 This is where it started \u2026 the weekend of the Presence of the Beloved totally present.<\/p>\n
