> > 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 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 me 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 my young teenage 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.
> >
> > 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, grinning, I 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
