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!
