She writes:<\/p>\n<p>Dear Grand-daughter,<\/p>\n<p>The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a &#8220;Honk if you love Jesus&#8221; 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!<br \/>\nI 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&#8217;t notice that the light had changed.<br \/>\nIt\u00a0 is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn&#8217;t honked,\u00a0 I&#8217;d never have noticed.<br \/>\nI found that lots of people love Jesus!<br \/>\nWhile I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like\u00a0crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, &#8216;For the love of God!&#8217; &#8216;Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!&#8217;<br \/>\nWhat an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!<br \/>\nEveryone started honking!<br \/>\nI 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<br \/>\nstuck up in the\u00a0air. 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.<br \/>\nWell, I have never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign right back.<br \/>\nMy grandson burst out laughing. Why even he was enjoying this religious experience!<br \/>\nA 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.<br \/>\nSo, grinning, I waved at all my brothers and sisters, and drove on through\u00a0 the intersection.<br \/>\nI noticed that I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared.<br \/>\nSo 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.\u00a0Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!!!<\/p>\n<p>Will write again soon,<\/p>\n<p>Love,\u00a0 Grandma<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grandma is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car.
