A Letter from Grandma
Dear Friend,
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.
Boy, I'm glad I did! What an
uplifting experience 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! 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. 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 ... he was enjoying this
religious experience, too!
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 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!
Love, Grandma
