Granny's Bumper Sticker

Grandma bought a bumper sticker for her old Buick and promptly writes to her family...

My Dearest Family,

The other day I went to the local Christian book store where I saw a "Honk if You Love Jesus" bumper sticker. I bought it and put it on the back bumper of my car and I'm really glad that I did! What an uplifting experience followed.

I was stopped at the light of a busy intersection just lost in thought about the Lord, and I didn't notice that the light had changed. That bumper sticker really worked. I found lots of folks who love Jesus. Why, the guy behind me started honking like crazy! He must really love the Lord because pretty soon he leaned out the window and yelled "Jesus Christ" as loud as he could. It was like a football game, with him shouting "Go, Jesus Christ, Go!"

Everyone else was soon honking as well, so I leaned out my window and waved and smiled at all those loving people.

There was some guy from Florida because I could hear him yelling about a "sunny beach" and I saw him wave at me in a peculiar way sticking his middle finger up in the air. Luckily, I had just asked my two grandsons what such a gesture meant and they just looked at each other and giggled and told me it was the Hawaiian good luck sign, so I leaned out the window and returned the gesture.

A couple of people were so caught up in the joy of the moment they actually got out of their cars and began to walk toward me. I assumed they wanted to pray but then I noticed the light had changed to green, so I stepped on the gas. It's a good thing I did because I was the only one to make it through the intersection before it turned back to red. 

Not wanting the experience to end, I looked back, and seeing all those good folks standing around, I leaned out the window and with a wide smile held up the Hawaiian good luck sign as I drove away.

Praise the Lord for such wonderful people.

Love,

Grandma
