It's my mom's birthday.

What could be possible lessons from the story below according to the Urantia book with the new teachings of Jesus Christ with possible quotes;
He bought a dead island for 13 thousand dollars, equipped the island with endangered animals, birds and trees. They offered 50 million dollars, he did not sell it and donated it.
In 1962, newspaper editor Brendon Grimshaw bought the uninhabited island of Moyenne in the Seychelles, where no human had set foot for 50 years, for 13 thousand dollars.
He began to live on the island like a real Robinson, taking with him companions from the locals.
His name was "Rene Lafortin".
Brendon and Rene started to equip the island.
Over 39 years, Brendon and Rene planted 16 thousand trees with their own hands and built approximately 5 km of road.
In 1996 he wrote a book about himself and the island called Grain of Sand.
A documentary of the same name was made about Grimshaw and the island in 2009.
In 2007, Rene Lafortin died and Brendon was left alone on the island.
He was 81 years old. During his lifetime, he attracted 2000 new bird species to the island and introduced more than a hundred giant tortoises to the world, which were about to become extinct, including the Seychelles.
Thanks to Brendon's efforts, the once deserted island is now home to two-thirds of the Seychelles fauna. An abandoned piece of land turned into a real paradise.
A few years ago, the prince of Saudi Arabia offered Brendon Grimshaw $50 million for the island, which Brendon politely declined.
“I don't want the island to become a favorite vacation spot for the rich.
"Let it be a national park where everyone and animals can live and have fun freely."
He finally achieved his wish.
In 2008, the island was indeed declared a "National Park".
Grimshaw was the sole resident of the island until his death in July 2012.
"Wanting" is not just about saying "I want".
You can achieve results by doing what you can afford, step by step, sometimes for years.
Never expect such a thing from children who have been accustomed to being ready since childhood, or do not accustom your children to being so ready so that they can learn to make the world a better place.

1. Selflessness and Altruism: Brendon's refusal of the $50 million offer and his desire to preserve the island as a national park reflect his selfless and altruistic nature.

So many lifetimes ago...

On our Unique Self.

last one, I promise...but all tie together.

But I tried...

Good morning from Ecuador! Sorry for the absence...Godspeed, everyone.

Upon the attainment of the finaliter levels of ascendant experience, these spirits of the sixth stage appear to transmute some mind factor representing a union of certain phases of the mortal and Adjuster minds which had previously functioned as liaison between the divine and human phases of such ascending personalities. This experiential mind quality probably "supremacizes" and subsequently augments the experiential endowment of evolutionary Deity -- the Supreme Being. 107:5.6 | https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_107.html#107:5.6
