Dear Grand-daughter,

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 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! 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
