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.  I found 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 & screamed, ' For the love of God!  ' ' Go!  Go!  Go!  Jesus Christ, GO!' What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!  Everyone started honking!

I leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those loving people.  I even honked my horn a few times sharing 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.

My teen-age grandson is still laughing and rejoicing in the Spirit!!!

Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!!

Will write again soon, Love, Grandma
