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, am I 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 son 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 son
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 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!
