The computer swallowed grandma
Yes, honestly its true
She pressed ‘control’ and ‘enter’
And disappeared from view.

It devoured her completely
The thought just makes me squirm
She must have caught a ‘virus’
Or been eaten by a ‘worm.’

I’ve searched through the ‘recycle bin’
And files of every kind
I’ve even used the ‘Internet’
But nothing did I find.

In desperation, I asked Google 
My searches to refine
The reply from it was negative
Not a thing was found ‘online.’

So if inside your ‘Inbox’
My Grandma you should see
Please ‘Copy,’ ‘Scan’ and ‘Paste’ her
And send her back to me!

Soon after apparently someone did find “Grandma” because a member of the family received this “snail mail” from her about a little adventure she had on the road…(Apparently she has given up on electronic correspondence by now.)

Letter From Grandma

Got a letter from Grandma the other day. She writes:

The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore 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 I put it on my bumper.

Boy, am I glad I did! What an up-lifting 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 loved Jesus! Why, 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 of my window and started waiving and smiling at all these 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 teenage grandson, who was sitting in the back seat, what it meant, and he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I’ve never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign 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 me what Church I attended. But this is when I noticed the light had changed. So I waved to all my sisters and brothers grinning, and drove on through the intersection.

I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and I 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 of 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!

So until tomorrow…Honk if you love humor and searches for grandmas’ everywhere who get lost daily in cyberspace! They are truly heroines… going into this new frontier alone each day.

Mollie called and invited me over for lunch….Marcia and Bruce are down from New Hampshire…and everyone has been pitching in unloading boxes in the new home. It was so good to see everyone again!

Marcia always sends me a picture of her beautiful yellow maple tree but she said it has been so dry in NH that the leaves are just curling up and the fall colors haven’t even appeared yet…they reached ninety last week too. I am hoping they get rain because I always look forward to seeing that beautiful maple!
