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!
