Letter from Grandma

Got a letter from Grandma the other day. She wrote...

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!

Love, Grandma
