Grandma's letter
Grandma's letter; She is eighty-eight
years old and
still drives her own car.
She writes: 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
came 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
lov e 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
