Is Your Treasurer in Heaven?

Thirty years ago, at the age of forty-seven Andre Francois Raffray worked out a real estate deal with Jeanne Calment, age ninety. He would pay her $500 each month until her death in order to secure ownership of her apartment in Arles, France (This is a common practice in France, benefiting both buyers and seniors on a fixed income). Unfortunately for Raffray, Jeanne Calment became one the world’s oldest living persons. Though Calment was still alive 120, she outlived Raffray, who died in December of 1995, at the age of seventy-seven. He paid $184,000 for an apartment he never lived in. According to the contract, Raffray’s survivors still had to continue payment until Mrs. Calment died

Matthew 6:19-20 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal”
