Got a letter from Aunt Martha the other day. She writes...
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 it on my bumper.
Boy,
I'm 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! Why, 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! ...Jesus
Christ, 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.
Then I asked my teenage son 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 son 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!
