Dear Granddaughter:
The other day I went up to our local Christian book
store and saw a Honk if you love Jesus� bumper sticker.
I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I
had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed
by a thunderous prayer meeting.
So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.
Boy, am I glad I did! What an uplifting experience
that followed. I was stopped at a red light at a busy
intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and
how good he is, and I didn't notice that the light
had changed.
It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because
if he Hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed.
I found that lots of people love Jesus!
While I was sitting there, the guy behind started
honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his
window and screamed, For the love of God!
Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO! What an exuberant
cheerleader he was for Jesus!
Everyone started honking! I just leaned out my
window and started waving and smiling at all those
loving people. I even honked my horn a few
times to share in the love!
There must have been a man from Florida back there> >> because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach.
I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only
his middle finger stuck up in the air.
I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat
what that meant. He said it was probably a Hawaiian good
luck sign or something.
Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii , so I
leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign
right back. My grandson burst out laughing. Why even
he was enjoying this religious experience!!
A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy
of the moment that they got out of their cars and started
walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what
church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had
changed.
So, I waved at all my brothers and sisters grinning,
and drove on through the intersection.
I noticed that I was the only car that got through
the intersection before the light changed again and felt kind
of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had
shared.
So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and
>gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I
drove away.
Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!!
Will write again soon,
Love, Grandma
