As the season for graduations comes and goes, I reflect on my attendance at a graduation ceremony at the University of Iowa and another celebration here in Muscatine. They were joyful times.  So many lives gathered to celebrate a significant milestone in the graduate’s life.  As I looked around, I saw familiar faces that I hadn’t seen in years, gathered together around tables overflowing with beautifully arranged platters of food.  As I looked across the lawn, I watched the children running through the grass so green.  It was as if I had been given a snapshot of a scene from heaven.  It made me think about the grand entrance and reunion we will have one day with all of our dear friends and family who have gone on before us. I know this reflection is a gift from God.  We have so much to look forward to in heaven.  May we practice the discipline of delayed gratification as we store up our treasures in heaven rather than here on earth.
 
"My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning."  Psalm 130:6
