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.
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!
