“The Reverend’s Wife”
The other day I went to the local religious bookstore where I saw a “HONK IF YOU LOVE JESUS”
bumper sticker. I bought it and put it on the back bumper of my car, and I’m really glad I did. What an
uplifting experience followed!
I was stopped at the light of a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the lord, and didn’t notice
that the light had changed. That bumper sticker really worked! I found lots of people who love Jesus.
Why-, the guy behind me started to honk like crazy. He must really love the Lord because pretty soon
he leaned out his window and yelled, “JESUS CHRIST!” as load as he could. It was like a football game
with him shouting, “GO, JESUS CHRIST’ GO!” Everyone else started honking, too, so I leaned out my
window and waved and smiled to all those loving people.
There must have been a guy from Florida back there because I could hear him yelling something
about a sunny beach, and I saw him waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air.
I had recently asked my two kids what that meant. They kind of squirmed, looked at each other,
giggled and told me that it was the Hawaiian good luck sign, so I leaned out the window and gave him
the good luck sign back.
A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars
and were walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray, but just then I noticed that the light had
changed, and I stepped on the gas. It’s a good thing I did, because I was the only car to get across the
intersection. I looked back at them standing there. I leaned out the window, gave them a big smile, and
held up the Hawaiian good luck sign as I drove away.
Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!
