One day I received a letter from my grandma....
The other day I went up to a local Christmas bookstore and saw a 'honk if you love Jesus' bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come back 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 loved Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed! I found lots of people love Jesus! While I was sitting there the guy behind me started honking like crazy, and then 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 In the air. I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant and he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I've never met someone from Hawaii, so I leaned out of 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 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 brothers and sisters grinning, and drove on through the intersection. I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light had changed again and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we have shared, so I slowed 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!
