Jesus Bumper Sticker
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!
