>Aunt Martha's Religious Experience >Got a letter from Aunt Martha the other day. She writes... >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 performance, followed by a >thunderous prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put it on my >bumper. Boy, I'm 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! Why, while I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking >like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, >"For the love of GOD! GO! GO!..Jesus Christ, GO!" What an exuberant >cheerleader he was for Jesus! 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 guy waving in a funny way with only his >middle finger stuck up in the air. then I asked my teenage son in the >back seat what that meant, he said that it was probably a 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 son 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 grinning, >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 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! ------ > > _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com
