The other day some old gal went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a 'Honk if you love Jesus' bumper sticker. She was feeling particularly sassy that day, because she had just come from a thrilling choir practice followed by a powerful prayer meeting, so she bought the sticker and put it on her bumper.
She was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is, and she didn't notice that the light had changed.
It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus; because if he hadn't honked, she'd never have noticed. She decided that LOTS of people love Jesus because while she 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!" She thought, "What an exuberant cheerleader
he is for the Lord."
Everyone started honking! She just leaned out of her window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people. She even honked her horn a few times to share in the love. She decided there must have been a man from Florida back there, because she heard him yelling something about a sunny beach. She saw another man waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. When the old gal asked her teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant, he said that it was an Hawaiian good luck sign or something.
Well, she'd never met anyone from Hawaii, so she leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back. Her 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 her. She thought they wanted to pray or ask what church she attended, but this is when she noticed the light had changed. So she waved to all her sisters and brothers, smiled at them all, and drove on through the intersection.
She noticed she was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again, and felt kind of sad to leave them after all the love they had shared, so she slowed the car down, leaned out of the window, and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as she drove away, thinking to herself, "Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!"
