Letter From Grandma

Got a letter from Grandma the other day. She told this story of her exciting day.

She wrote: "The other day I went to a local Christian bookstore and saw a "honk if you love Jesus" bumper sticker.

I was feeling 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 followed!

I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is. I didn't notice that the light had turned green.

It is a good thing someone 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 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! I just leaned out 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 right 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 grandson in the back seat what that meant, and he said 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 grandson burst out laughing ....Why, even he was enjoying this religious experience! A couple of 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 was 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 turned red again and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared.

I slowed down and 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!

Love, Grandma

"My older sister is retired Army,

Give your sis a hug for serving our country from me and send her picture to Billie so we can see her in Group #11.....

[daisyscarlett]

I love that song "Wind Beneath My Wings" so much. I often cry when I hear depending who is doing it.

[daisyscarlett]

Oh Logan Dave is just adorable with the flag. I hope Billie combines the pledge with the photo and sends it to me; I will use it regularly when I post...Just too sweet...Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing....

[lodwick]

Yep. Grannie9's husband Al failed to periodically check the progress of their yard walkers on the grill.

Tragic.

If I go away this evening without saying good night, it's because I've been up since 3am and I'm fading fast. ;-)

[Pippin]

in case you fade completely out, I hope you have a good night.

[daisyscarlett]

Good afternoon, Billie. Or is it evening already in Texas? I am glad you like the calendar and even gladder that you have sisters....

[daisyscarlett]

Pippin ate ALL those pies I baked for you. CS I hope you enjoyed them but remember "A moment on the lips, forever on the hips"...lol...

Louie, we must find an old fashioned pie safe for you before I bake anymore for you.

[backhoe]

Hi- I'm amazed I got to #227- this old PC & software often freeze on large pages with graphics.

[daisyscarlett]

Thanks for your correction. You are a proud Navy Vet not a Marine. Congratulations and thanks and a hug anyway for serving our Country....

[Aquamarine]

I'm glad you enjoyed both of those songs today. I always enjoy the wonderful spreads that you lay out for us here. Did you see what Lod served us tonight?!? LOL!

Good night Lodwick!

[daisyscarlett]

Thank you both for sharing your sister stories.

[daisyscarlett]

Oh I am so happy you like your bear graphic. I just love the colors in the graphic and of course the daisies make it special too.

Reading ahead, I see you also like birds...Well guess what I have been saving for a couple of weeks...

[Aquamarine]

LOL! That is so funny. I have an Aunt in Florida in her 80's that was riding in the car with my Mom one day when she got mad at another driver and told my Mom to "give em the thumb"! We still laugh about that...I guess that was the worse thing that she knew how to do.
