A Letter from Grandma
Dear Friend,
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 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! 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. 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...he was enjoying this religious experience, too!
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!
Love,
Grandma
