My wonderfull new Bumper sticker.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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. Then 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 was when I noticed the light had changed. So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers: grinned, 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
of the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good
luck sign one last time as I drove away.
My grandson was down in the seat laughing for the
pure joy of it.
Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!
