Grandma Buys a Bumper Sticker
Grandma writes:
The other day I went to the local religious book store where
I saw a "Honk if you really love Jesus" bumper sticker. I
bought it and put it on the back bumper of my car and I'm
really glad I did. What an uplifting experience followed.
I was stopped at the light of a busy intersection, just lost
in thought
about the Lord, and didn't notice that the light had
changed. That bumper sticker really worked! I found lots of
people who love Jesus. Why, the guy behind me started to
honk like crazy. He must really love the Lord because pretty
soon he leaned out his window and yelled, "Jesus Christ!" as
loud as he could. Why, it was like a football game with him
shouting, "Go, Jesus Christ, Go"! Everyone else started
honking too, so I leaned out my window and waved and smiled
to all those loving people. There must have been a guy from
Florida back there because I could hear him
yelling something about a sunny beach, and I saw him waving
in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the
air. I had recently asked my two grandsons what that meant.
They kind of squirmed, looked at each other, giggled and told
me that it was the Hawaiian good luck sign, so I leaned out
the window and gave him the good luck sign back. A couple of
the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that
they got out of their cars and were walking towards me. I
bet they wanted to pray, but just then I noticed that the
light had changed, and I stepped on the gas. It's a good
thing I did, because I was the only car to get across the
intersection. I looked back at them standing there. I leaned
out the window, gave them a big smile, and held up the
Hawaiian Good Luck sign as I drove away. Praise
the Lord for such wonderful folks!
Love ya all,
Grandma
