From a Hawaiian grandmother to her mainland kinfolk,
Dear Loved Ones,
I just couldn't wait to tell you about a wonderful experience I just had.
The other day I went to the local religious book store where I saw a
"Honk if you really 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 of a busy intersection just lost in thought about
the Lord and didn't notice that the light had changed to green. Why, that
bumper sticker really works! 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. Why, it was like a football game with him shouting,
"Go, Jesus Christ, Go!" Everyone else started honking too, so I leaned
out my window, waved and smiled to all those loving people.
There must have been a guy from Florida back there because I could hear
him yelling something about sunshine, and I saw him waving in a funny way
with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. I remembered that when I had
asked my twin grandsons what that meant, that they kind of looked at each
other, giggled, and told me that it was the Hawaiian good luck sign, ... so I
leaned out the window and gave the guy the Hawaiian good luck sign right
back.
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 towards me. I bet they wanted to pray,
but just then I noticed that the light had changed and I stepped on the gas.
It's a good thing I did, because I was the only car to get across the
intersection.
I looked back at them standing there. I leaned out the window, gave them
a big smile, and held up the Hawaiian Good Luck sign as I drove away.
I just praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!
Well, I've got to go now. Y'all be good.
Love ya,
Grandma
