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.
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
