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 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 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.

Ifound 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
