Honk - If You Love 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, 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.
