Dear Grand-daughter,
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, grinning, I waved at all my brothers
and sisters, 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
