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 me 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. When 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

>> 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!

>>>
