Got a Letter from Grandma the other day - she writes
|
The other day I went up to a local Christian book shop and saw a "Hoot if you
love Jesus" bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly good 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 and am I'm glad
I did! What an uplifting experience that followed!
There I was stopped at a red light at a busy cross roads, 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
hooted, I'd never have noticed! I found that LOTS of people love Jesus! for
while I was sitting there, the man behind started hooting like crazy, and then
he leaned out of his window and screamed, "For the love of GOD! GO! GO! Jesus
Christ, GO!" What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!
Everyone started hooting! I just leaned out of my window and started waving
and smiling at all these loving people. I even hooted my horn a few times to
share in the love! There must have been a man from Devon or Cornwall back there
because I heard him yelling something about a "sunny beach"... I saw another
man waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. So
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, 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 think they wanted to
pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had
changed. So, I waved and smiled to all my new friends and drove off. I noticed
I was the only car that got through 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 people!
