Senior Driver-Funny!!
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 practice
followed by a powerful prayer meeting, so I bought
the sticker and put it 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 nice man behind started
honking like crazy, and he leaned out of his window and screamed, 'for the love of God, GO! GO!' What an exuberant cheerleader he was for the Lord!
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 man 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 an 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, smiled
at them all, 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!!!
