Pastor Carol Shimmin Nordstrom writes in her February devotional of the Covenant Home Altar about overhearing staff at a coffee shop talking about what they were waiting for—finishing college, the season opener for a college sports team, etc. She was surprised when a customer added that he was waiting for God to take him home to heaven.

The Companion wants to hear how readers would answer this question. A new job, a family wedding, a child to return home, a diagnosis, a once-in-a-lifetime vacation? What are you waiting for?
