奶奶给孙女的信

奶奶已经88岁了，仍然开着自己的车。她写道：

亲爱的孙女：

前几天，我去了我们当地的基督教书店，看到了一张“如果你爱耶稣，就按喇叭”的保险杠贴纸。那天我心情特别好。因为我刚刚参加了一场激动人心的合唱表演，随后又参加了一场呼声雷鸣的祈祷会。所以，我买了那张贴纸，贴在我汽车的保险杠上。

天哪，我很高兴我这么做了。接下来的经历真是令人振奋。

在一个繁忙的十字路口，我停车等红灯。由于沉浸在对主的思念和对他的感恩之中，我没有注意到灯变了。

幸好有人爱耶稣。因为如果他不按喇叭，我绝不会注意到灯变了。我发现爱耶稣的人还不少！

当我坐在车里的时候，后面的那个人开始猛按喇叭。然后，他身子探出车窗大喊：“看在上帝的份上！加油！加油！加油！耶稣基督，加油！”

他是多么热情的耶稣啦啦队长啊！每个人都跟着开始按喇叭！

我也身子探出车窗，向所有那些充满爱心的人挥手微笑。我甚至也按了几次喇叭来呼应这份对耶稣的爱！

后面那个人一定是来自佛罗里达州的。因为我听到他在叫喊一些有关阳光明媚的海滩的事情。

我看到另一个人以一种奇怪的方式挥手，只向上竖起中指。我问坐在后座上十几岁的孙子，那是什么意思。他说，那可能是夏威夷人表示好运的标志或之类的意思。好吧。我从来没有见过夏威夷人。所以，我从车窗探出身子，也给了他回了一个好运标志。

我的孙子大笑起来。连他都喜欢这种宗教体验！

有几个人也加入到了那一刻的喜悦之中。他们下了车，朝我走来。我猜，他们是想为我祈祷，或问我参加的是哪个教会。

但就在这时，我注意到灯变了。于是，我笑着向所有的兄弟姐妹挥挥手，开车穿过十字路口。我发现，在灯号再次变色之前，我是唯一一辆车通过十字路口的车。

我感到有点伤感。因为我和他们分享了这么多的爱，我却不得不离开他们。于是，我放慢了车速，探身出车窗，最后一次向他们做了夏威夷式祝好运的手势。然后，开车离去。

感谢上帝，有这么好的人！

很快会再写信的，

爱你的奶奶

原文： Honk if you love Jesus

Grandma is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car。She writes：

Dear Grand-daughter，

The other day I went up to our local Christian book store 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，am I 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！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！Go！Jesus Christ，GO！”

What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus！Everyone started honking！I 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 stuck up in the air。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。Well，I have never met anyone from Hawaii，so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign right back。

My grandson 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，grinning，I waved at all my brothers and sisters，and drove on through the intersection。

I 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。So，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。

Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks！！

Will write again soon，

Love，Grandma
