Grandma Still Drives!!!
Grandma's letter. She is eighty-eight years old and still drives her
own car. She writes:
Dear Grand-daughter:
The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a
"Honk ifyou 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!
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!
Go! Jesus Christ, GO! What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!
Everyone started honking! I just leaned out my window and started
waving and smiling at all those 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. I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant. He
said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I have never
met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good
luck sign right 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 at all my
brothers
and sisters grinning, and drove on through the intersection. I noticed
that I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light
changed again and 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 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!! Will write again soon,
Love, Grandma
