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.
