Honk for Jesus
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.
