Grandma's Driving.........
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!
