LETTERS      FROM.....

Got a letter from Grandma the other day. 
She writes:

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
 it on my bumper. Boy, I'm 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! Why, while 
 I was sitting there, the guy behind me started honking 
 like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and 
 screamed, "For the love of GOD! GO! GO! JESUS CHRIST, 
 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 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!
