OLD, BUT FUNNY

Got a letter from Grandma the other day--this
is what it said:
The other day I went into a local Christian
bookstore and saw a "Honk if you love Jesus"
bumper sticker. Well, I was feeling particularly
sassy that day because I had just come from
a thrilling choir practice and a thunderous
prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put
it on my car. Boy, I'm glad I did! What an
uplifting experience 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's a good thing someone else loves Jesus
because if he hadn't honked,
I'd never have noticed. Then I found that LOTS
of people love Jesus!

Why, while I was sitting there, the guy behind
me started honking like crazy, leaned out his
window and hollered, "For the love of God! Go!
Go! Jesus Christ! Go!" What an exuberant
cheerleader for the Lord he was!
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 say
something about a "sunny beach."
I saw another guy 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 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 people were so caught up in the
moment that they got out of their cars and
started walking toward me. I bet they wanted
to pray or ask me what church I attended, but I
noticed that the light had changed. So I waved
to all my sisters and brothers grinning and
drove on through the intersection.

I noticed that I was the only car that got
through before the light changed again and felt
kind of sad to leave all those people behind
after the love we'd shared, so I slowed down,
leaned out the window and gave them all the
Hawaiian good luck sign one last time
as I drove away.
