A couple of decades ago, this short, funny, fictional, tongue-in-cheek story about someone who is hopelessly naïve, was faxed/emailed around. I was lucky enough to be one of the recipients.

The other day, I went to a 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 that followed! 😍
I was stopped at the light of a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord, and I did not notice that the light had changed. The bumper sticker really worked! I found out that lots of people love Jesus! 🙌 Why, the guy behind me started to honk like crazy! He must really love the Lord because pretty soon he leaned out the window and yelled, "Jesus Christ!" as loud 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 back at 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 kids what that meant. They kind of squirmed, looked at each other, giggled, and told me that it was a Hawaiian good luck sign. So I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back!
A couple of 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 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!✞
