The Letter
Got a letter from Grandma the other day. She writes:
The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore 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.
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!
Why, 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! Jesus Christ, GO!" What an exuberant
cheerleader he was for Jesus!
Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started
waving and smiling at all these 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. Then I asked my teenage grandson in the back
seat what that meant, he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good
luck sign or something.
Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window
and gave him the good luck sign 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 to all my sisters
and brothers grinning, and drove on through the intersection.
I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before
the light changed again and I 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 of 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!
