Everybody has his first time at everything. When I had enough money, the first thing that I did was to go and buy my very first car. With this car, I never bothered to change its seat covers, fuzzy cube, or even the vanity plates. The only thing that I was looked at was the bumper stickers, to which I was very fast in buying and sticking them.
I’m pretty aware that some comment that they’re tacky, but the thing is that most of us take a lot of our time to just stare at the back of cars, which for me I saw was a good way of educating and entertaining people.
This is why I was moved with this story. One old grandmother purchased some bumper stickers for her car, what she never expected was the strong reaction from people!
This story is narrated for a reason. It is a touching reminder to do to others as you would like them to do to you, as life is pretty short.

My dear granddaughter,
The other day I went up to our local Christian book store 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 performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting.
So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.
Boy, am I glad I did! What an uplifting experience that followed…
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!

While I was sitting there, the guy behind me started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, “For the love of God! Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!”
What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus! Everyone started honking!
I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those 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 guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air.
I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant.
He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.
Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign right 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, grinning, I waved at all my brothers and sisters, and drove on through the intersection.
I noticed that I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again.
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 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!!
Will write again soon.
Love,
Grandma
