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 me 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. When 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... 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 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!
