> Grandma's letter.She is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own> car.She writes:Dear Granddaughter,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, I waved at all my brothers and> sisters grinning, 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>
At this time of year, the Post Office delegates someone to open letters addressed "Dear Santa"
One such letter:-
"Dear Santa, I am a 70yr old widowed pensioner. I have just had my purse stolen, containing the £30 which I was going to buy my granddaughter a present. Please could you send her a present instead?"
This so touched the worker that he organised a whip-round.
He managed to collect £28, and duly sent it off to granny.
A few days later he got another letter.
"Dear Santa, Thank you for the money, now I can buy my granddaughter a present. But it was £2 short - I bet those thieving ba*tards at the Post Office nicked it".
