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 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
