Honk If You Love Jesus
The other day I 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, am I
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 me 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. When I asked my teenage son 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 son 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 one more time to
my loving brothers and sisters, 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 all 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 more time as I drove away. Praise the
Lord for such wonderful folks.
