I got a letter from my 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 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's a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd have never noticed! I found 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 and 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!
I saw another gay guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. Then I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant. He said 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 that 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 of 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!
Love, Grandma

Goodbye
They stood there, staring into each others eyes, and they smiled. They kissed, and it seemed to last forever, there last and final kiss. She could remember their past together perfectly. "My last night here with you," she had whispered into his ear that night. "So here we are, our last moment together" he had said to her. She watched him walk down the hallway to the plane. She started to run after him, but she held herself back. She placed her hand in her pocket, still watching him go down. She pulled out a small case, wrapped in gold paper. "Now, don't open this till I'm gone" he had said when he gave it to her, and she held it, looking at him for the last time. He was about to turn into the plane, but he turned around, for one last look, one last goodbye.
They looked into each others eyes, and mouthed goodbye. Then, he blew her a kiss, and walked into the plane. She stood there, and a tear formed on the edge of her eye. Her eye twitched as the tear went through her delicate eyelashes, then rolling down her cheek. It rolled off her chin, the sun shining through it, and she raised her hand, catching it. It splashed upon her hand, splitting into a shattered puddle. She looked at the small case, and she slowly took off the wrapping, revealing a black case. She took off the lid, revealing a gold necklace, with small diamonds throughout it. The necklace surrounded a small crap, and she took it out and unfolded it. She read it. "We have been together all our lives, but here we must part. I wish it wouldn't be this way, but I love you, with all my heart. Take this necklace, and remember me by it. I love you."
She watched the plane go by, waving to it. She smiled, took out the necklace, and placed it around her neck. She then walked off, placing the note in her pocket, and she loved him too, for the rest of her life.
