I received a letter from my grandmother last week. She is eighty-eightyears old and still drives her own car.
She writes:
Dear Gavin,
The other day I went up to our local Christian bookstore and saw a"honk if you love Jesus" bumper sticker. I was feeling particularlysassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choirperformance, followed by thunderous prayer meeting. So I bought thesticker and put it on mybumper.Boy, I'm glad I did, what an uplifting experience that followed. I wasstopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thoughtabout the Lord and how good he is, and I didn't notice that the lighthad changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if hehadn't honked, I'd never have noticed. I found that lots of peoplelove Jesus!Why, while I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking likecrazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, "For thelove of God! Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ Go!" What an exuberantCheerleader he was for Jesus! Everyone startedhonking! I just leaned out my window and I started waving and smilingat all those loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to sharein the love!There must have been a man from Margate back there because I heard himyelling something about a "sunny beach".I saw another guywaving in a funny way with only his middle fingerstuck up in the air. I asked your cousin George in the back seat whatthat meant. He said it was probably a Zulu good luck sign orsomething.Well, I've never met anyone from Zululand, so I leaned out the windowand gave him the good luck sign back. George burst out laughing why;even he was enjoying this religious experience! A couple of the peoplewere so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of theircars and started walking towards me.I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this iswhen I noticed the light had changed. So, I waved at all my brothersand sisters grinning, and drove on through the intersection. I noticedI was the only car that got through the intersection before the lightchanged again and felt kind of sad that I had to leave them. After allthat love we had shared.So I slowed the car down, leanedout the window and gave them all theZulu good luck sign one last time as I drove away.Praise the Lord for such wonders.
Love,
GrandmaFor the love of God, Why???
