A Letter From Grandma...


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 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! 

Love, Grandma
