MY EXPERIENCE IN VICTORIA
Posted: Sat May 11, 2013 12:57 pm
"tanks" here---
It's Saturday and not much to do while it is raining and cold on the Wheatbelt in WA, so I thought that you Forumites might like to get a cuppa and a biscuit and read on for a while.
When I returned to Perth from a trip to Melbourne I found myself in a Christian Book Shop and I saw a bumper-bar sticker, which read "HONK IF YOU LOVE JESUS", I thought that that was a good idea , so I bought one and put it on the Sprinter bumper-bar.
Gee I'm glad I did; what an uplifting experience followed !!. I stopped at a red light outside the railway station in Swanson Street Bridge and I was lost in thought about the Lord and how good he is. I did'nt notice that the lights had changed.
It was a good thing that somebody else loves Jesus because if they had'nt honked I'd never have noticed them. Then I found lots of people love Jesus. While I was sitting there a man in a car behind me started honking like crazy and he leaned out of his car window and screamed "For the loved of God -- Go-Go-Go. What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus---Everyone started honking.
I leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all of those loving people. I even honked my horn several times to share in the celebrations. I saw another man waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air.
I asked my Grandson in the passenger seat what that meant.. He said it was probably a Melbourne good luck sign or something. Well I've never made friends with anyone from Melbourne, so I leaned out of the window and gave him the good luck sign back. My Grandson burst out laughing-- even he was enjoying the religious experience.
A couple of people were so caught up in the joy of the moment they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray, or ask me what Church I attended. But this was when I saw the lights had changed to Green, so I waved to all my new Brothers and Sisters and drove through the intersection. I noticed that I was the only vehicle that got through before the lights changed to Red again. I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed down, leant out of the window and gave them all the Melbourne good luck sign one last time as I drove away.
Praise the Lord for such wonderful people.
Now that I'm in Broome I have noticed many of them must be up here on holidays. I know this because my Motor Scooter has a maximum speed of about 45-50 kph., and while I have been riding my motor scooter in the 90 kph section of the Broome Highway to go to Chinatown for the mail they all give me the Good Luck Sign and honk their horn.
Hope you all have a great day
