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, 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. 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!"
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 one finger stuck up in the
air. I asked my teenage grandson who was in the car with me 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.
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!
