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, I'm 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 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. 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!
