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 sassythat 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
thewindow 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
