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 and screamed,

' For the love of God! '
' Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!'

What an exuberant cheerleader he was for
Jesus!

Everyone started honking!

I just leaned out my window and started
waving and smiling at all those 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.

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.

Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!!

Will write again soon,

Love, Grandma
