Letter From Grandma
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 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. Why, 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. Then 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... 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 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 I 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.
