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
