Grandma is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car. She writes: � � 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 |
