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 a
Hawaiian good luck sign. 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, grinning, I waved at all my
brothers and sisters, 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
