An elderly man in Oklahoma calls his son in New York and says,
"I hate to ruin your day son, but I have to tell you
that your mother and I are getting a divorce; 45 years of marriage...
and that much misery is enough!"
"Dad, what are you talking about?" the son yells.
"We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the old dad explained.
"We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this,
so you call your sister in Hong Kong and tell her!".
Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone.
"Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this."
She calls her elderly father immediately, and screams at him,
"You are not getting divorced.
Don't do a single thing until I get there.
I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow.
Until then, don't do a thing, you hear me?" she yelled as she hung up the phone.
The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife.
"Okay", he says,
"it's all set. They're both coming for Christmas and paying their own air-fare.
A Letter From Grandma.
Grandma is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car.

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.
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
