Dear Granddaughter,
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 the light had changed.
It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus, because if hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed .
I found out that lots of people love Jesus! While I was sitting there, the guy behind me 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.
There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him start yelling something about the sunny beaches. I saw another guy waving in a funny way, with only his middle finger stuck in the air. I ask 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 had never met anyone from Hawaii,so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sigh right back.
My Grandson burst out laughing. Why even he was enjoying this religious experience.
A couple of 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 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 I was the only car that had 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, and 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
