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 b ack.
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
Happiness keeps you sweet,
