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
