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 in 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 guy behind started honking

like crazy, and when he leaned out of his window

and screamed, "for the love of God, GO! 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. When

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.

 
Some 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!
