Ep 30 A Legacy of Living Beyond Ourselves with Lorraine Maksoudian

Jesus called us to live life beyond ourselves in Matthew 6: 19,20- "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth . . . But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." And He gives us two good reasons: 

Heavenly treasures last--no rats or thieves! And they focus our hearts: "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (verse 21)

I want my heart focused on what God treasures. Whenever I spend time with my friend, Lorraine, I get a boost in that direction and I'm grateful.

Lorraine Maksoudian is the mentor of many and you'll see why when you listen to today's podcast. Her legacy includes:

• Teaching the attributes of God to 1st Graders for 18 years (starting with our Mary Grace, 24)
• Reality is much deeper than it appears
• No experience of a believer is ever wasted
• Memorize God's Word and review systematically
• Celebrate how God has made us unique
• Hand off your To-Do list every day to the Lord and let Him direct how your day is actually supposed to go

 

 Lorraine always serves me tea and homemade biscotti. Here's her recipe for Double Chocolate Cherry Pistachio Biscotti.
