The other day I went to the local religious 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 I did. What an uplifting
experience followed!
I was stopped at the light at a busy intersection, just lost in
thought about the Lord, and didn't notice that the light had changed.
That bumper sticker really worked! I found lots of people who love
Jesus.
Why, the guy behind me started to honk like crazy. He must REALLY love
the Lord because pretty soon, he leaned out his 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 started honking, too, so I leaned out my window and
waved and smiled to all of those loving people.
There must have been a guy from Florida back there because I could
hear him yelling something about a sunny beach, and saw him waving in
a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air.
I asked my two kids what that meant. They kind of squirmed, looked at
each other, giggled and told me that it was the Hawaiian good luck
sign. So, I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign
back.
Several cars behind, a very nice black man stepped out of his car and
yelled something. I couldn't hear him very well, but it sounded like,
"Mother trucker," or "Mother's from there." Maybe he was from Florida,
too. He must really love the Lord.
A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that
they got out of their cars and were walking toward me. I bet they
wanted to pray, but just then I noticed that the light had changed to
yellow, and stepped on the gas.
And a good thing I did, because I was the only driver to get across
the intersection. I looked back at them standing there. I leaned way
out the window, gave them a big smile and held up the Hawaiian good
luck sign as I drove away.
Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks.
