The other day I went up to our local Christian book store 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, am I glad I did, what an uplifting experience 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 & screamed, '' For the love of God! '' '' Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!'' What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus! Everyone started honking!
I leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those loving people. I even honked my horn a few times sharing 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 probably a ''Hawaiian Good Luck Sign'' or something.
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, I waved at all my brothers and sisters grinning, 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.
My teen-age grandson is still laughing and rejoicing in the Spirit!!!
Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!!
Will write again soon,
Love, Grandma
