Letter
from Grandma
I
got a letter from Grandma the other day. She writes...
The other
day I went up to a local Christian bookstore 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, 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 ... 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! 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 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 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 and 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!
Grandma!
