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 practice followed by a powerful prayer meeting, so I
bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.
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 nice man behind started honking like crazy, and he leaned out of his
window and screamed, "for the love of God, GO! GO!" What an exuberant
cheerleader he was for the Lord.
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 man 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 an Hawaiian good luck sign or something.
! Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window an d
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, smiled at them all, and drove on throug! h 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.
Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!
