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!
