Letter from Grandma

Dear Grandson,

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.

Grandma
