This was sent to me as part of an email from my cousin. It made me chuckle!
Grandma's Letter
Grandma's letter: She is eighty-eight years old and still
drives her own car.
She writes: Dear Grand-daughter, The other day I went up to our
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, 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 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, I waved at all my brothers and sisters 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 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
