Grandma's letter


She is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car.

Dear Granddaughter,
 
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 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.  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 grinned and waved at all my brothers and sisters, 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
