The Mother’s Heart

ok friends…i’m going to share with you a Toni Fowler Classic. This article was given to me in my 20′s and i have saved it my whole life and read it dozens of times. It is hilarious to me. Do you want to get inside my head? THIS IS ME and how i think. I hope you enjoy it.

Disclaimer – IF you are a tad bit “religious” this could be offensive – so skip it. No harm done.

The other day i went into the local religious store, where i saw a ”Honk if you love Jesus” bumper sticker. I just had to buy one and proudly put it on the rear bumper of my car as a witness. It worked! I found, to my surprise, that lots of people love Jesus. This is what happened………

I was stopped at the traffic light at a busy intersection, lost in thought about the Lord, and did not notice that the light had changed. The man behind started to honk his horn like crazy. He must of REALLY loved the Lord, because pretty soon, he leaned out of his window and yelled ”JESUS CHRIST”, just as loud as he could. He went on to encourage me in my faith by yelling ”GO, FOR CHRIST SAKE!”. Then everyone else started honking their horns too, so i leaned out of my window and waved at all of those loving people.
There must have been a Christian man from Florida back there too, because I could hear him yelling something about “sunny beach”, giving me a strange one fingered wave. I remembered that I had seen that wave before, and had asked my family about it. They kinda squirmed and giggled, then they finally told me about it being the hawaiian ‘good luck sign’. How nice!

Several cars behind him, a very nice black man stepped out of his car and yelled something. I couldn’t hear him very well, , but I think he wanted to tell me about his family. I think he said his mother was a trucker. He must be very proud of her and i’m sure they must both really love the Lord.

Another couple of people were so caught up in the joy of the moment, that they got out of their cars and were walking toward me. I’ll bet that they wanted to pray, but just then, I noticed that the light had changed to yellow, so I stepped on the gas. And it was a good thing that i did, because i was the only driver to get across the intersection. I saw all those loving people in my rear view mirror still at the light, so i leaned out of my window, gave them a big smile, and held up the Hawaiian ‘good luck sign’ as i drove away.

What a blessing to meet such wonderful folks. And i owe it all to my Christian bumper sticker.
