drives her own car. She writes:
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,
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.. ?
