God bless you all. I just had to write to you about the
wonderful experience I had the other day. I went up to a local
Christian bookstore and saw a "Honk if you love Jesus"
bumper sticker.
I was feeling pretty 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. 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 thatLOTS 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 smile- ing 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. 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!
Love Grandma
