Dear Grand-daughter:
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 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! 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. 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 young teenage grandson in the back seat
what that meant. He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or
something. Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii , so I leaned out
the window and gave him the good luck sign right 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 at all my brothers and sisters
grinning, and drove on through the intersection.

I noticed that I was the only car that 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, 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
