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, 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 |
