Grandma Still Drives !

Gramma Still Drives --- Priceless
Grandma 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, 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

A Simple ancient Chinese Technique to Stop Hiccups.

Hi folks,
You should try this the next time you or your friend or family member experiences a hiccup.
The ancient Chinese Medical experts know more about many things we don't today.



上最強的'停止打嗝法-------

這個方法是古代一種導引術很簡單


This is an ancient Chinese technique to stop hiccups
(左手或右手都沒有關係,用一隻手的姆指使勁的去壓迫另一隻手的手掌中央,壓迫多次打嗝就會停止)

It does not matter if you use either right or left hand. Use the thumb of one hand pressing against the center of the other palm. Several long hard presses and the hiccups will stop.
照書上說3分鐘內就會停止打嗝,但是我的經驗只要10幾秒打嗝就會自動停止,相當神奇.

According to the Chinese accupunture book,
3 minutes will stop hiccups, but from my
experience 10 seconds will stop hiccups.
此為中醫穴道--勞宮穴

This is the Chinese acupuncture points - 勞宮穴
