Dear Grand-son,
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.
You know Bill, Mary's teenage son, he was in the backseat so
I asked him 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.
Bill burst out laughing. 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, grinning, I waved at all my brothers and sisters, 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
