A LETTER FROM GRANDMA
Got a letter from Grandma the other day. 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!"
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
