LAUNCH OF MISSION STATEMENT 2017 FOR SERIES 1

No 1513 of Living Life Series 1


In conjunction with the forty ninth big day of Mission on the auspicious 13th day of 9th lunar month falling on 1st November 2017. 

13th in Chinese sounds like one (1) living (3) - mission sure to live and grow. One also refers to series 1 of Living Life blogs - Living Life Series 1

This day happens to be All Saints Day one day after Halloween on 31st October 2017. 

In the beginning in 1969
everything to do with mission
depended on only two
Philip Png (seated) and
Ling Diung Kwong
(standing beside sceptre)
but now men have short memories
and the two are dead to the minds of many.
The duo and those who follow them
may be different
but all far and near or
near and far are one in mission.
All are important and 
have their place in mission.
This is the view of Bo Tien 武天. 
All do deserve credit
and each one a place 
in the history of mission.

There is no right and wrong
only more right and less wrong
All have done well
but could be better than that.

They have to face the music
All reap what they sow.
Problems the good still face,
Sometimes more than their share,
(more so if they are religious
and in for more spiritual)
so as to learn to be better.

This is what everyone
regardless of religion, 
race, culture or society
should ever be -
to be better 
than what they are
This is the Mission of Heaven.

Religions, temples too are
to be better at what they are.
Problems coming in droves
for the religious and good
to earlier clear debts of past 
so as to qualify the religious
to have better things in life
to be yet even better 
in spiritual bliss and peace -
to be even more good and pure
to be nearer to God, saints and men.

Problems seem more 
at times to the good. 
They are not shaken 
and still at peace.
They know that problems
 can be blessings in disguise.

But to those not steep 
in the truth that is in life, 
problems are let-downs.
They blame God.
They see not the light 
at the end of the tunnel 
of truth that is
in life and in God.
