Honk If You Love Jesus, Grandma


          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 in on my bumper. 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  when 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 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. When 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!
