> The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw

> a "Honk if you love Jesus" bumper sticker.
>
>
> I was feeling particularly sassy that day, because I had just
> come from a thrilling choir practice followed by a powerful prayer
> meeting, so I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.
>
>
> I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection just lost
> in thought about the Lord and how good He is, and I didn't notice
that

> the light had changed.
>
>
> It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus; because if he
> hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed.
>
> I found that LOTS of people love Jesus. Why, while I 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!"
> What an exuberant cheerleader he was for the Lord.
>
> Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and
> started waving and smiling at all these loving people.
>
> I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love. There
> must have been a man from Florida back there, because I heard him
> yelling something about a sunny beach. I saw another man waving in a
> funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. When I
> asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant, he said
> that it was an Hawaiian good luck sign or something.
>
>
> Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii , so I leaned out the
> window and gave him the good luck sign back.
>
>
> My 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
me.
>
>
> I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but
> this is when I noticed the light had changed. So I waved to all my
> sisters and brothers, smiled at them all, and drove on through the
> intersection.
>
>
> I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection

> before the light changed again, and I felt kind of sad that I had to
> leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car
down,

> leaned out of the window, and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck
> sign one last time as I drove away.
>
> Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!
