Another Email From My Christian Friend

[Solitary]

This is what he sent me:


This is a story that is very worth reading, as you will and have not heard any of this on radio or TV. Please read it and then pass it along to everyone you know

TWO years ago Chick-fil-A made national headlines when company president Dan Cathy spoke out in support of traditional marriage. Liberals and gays came unglued and launched massive protests against the restaurant chain. Several mayors spoke out saying they would not allow any more Chick-fil-As to be built in heir cities.

They tried boycotting the Christian owned company, but that backfired. Instead, Chick-fil-A had a world record day with many locations selling out of food to the hundreds of thousands of supporters. Is it any surprise that the only news the liberal mainstream media has reported concerning Chick-fil-A has only been the negative?

Remember last week when the ice storm hit the south? The mainstream media showed footage of miles of cars stranded on the frozen interstates. Several national news broadcasts that I saw
reported about school kids trapped on busses for almost 24 hours because of all of the ice and parents going frantic wondering where their kids were.

In all of the icy gloom and doom, I bet you didn’t hear about the heroic and generous actions of a Chick-fil-A along Highway 280 in Birmingham, Alabama, did you?

Mark Meadows, owner of the Chick-fil-A closed early the day of the storm and sent all of his
employees home. However, the employees and Meadows soon discovered that they were not going to be able to get home with all of the stranded motorists stuck on the roads. Some of the cars near the restaurant had been stranded for up to 7 hours.

Audrey Pitt, manager of the Chick-fil-A described the conditions: “Our store is about a mile
and a half from the interstate and it took me two hours to get there. It was a parking lot as
far as I could see. At one point there were more people walking than driving.”


Meadows and his employees fired up the kitchen and began preparing chicken sandwiches as
fast as they could. They prepared several hundred sandwiches and then Meadows and his staff headed out and began distributing the hot meals to the stranded motorists on both sides of Highway 280.

Some of the drivers tried to pay them for the sandwiches, but Meadows and his employees refused to take a single penny. Pitt explained why: “This company is based on taking care of people and loving people before you’re worried about money or profit. We were just trying to
follow the model that we’ve all worked under for so long and the model that we’ve come to love. There was really nothing else we could have done but try to help people any way we could.”


However, Meadows and Pitt were not through with their Good Samaritan efforts. They helped push cars off the roads, up inclines and whatever else they could do to help. Then they kept the restaurant open overnight so that stranded motorists could have a warm place to be. A number of motorists slept in booths or on the benches.

Then in the morning, they again fired up the kitchen and prepared chicken biscuits for their overnight guests and once again they refused to accept any payment. During that 24 hour
period, this Chick-fil-A restaurant opened their kitchen, their doors and their hearts to hundreds of stranded motorists and they did so refusing to accept any payment. As one source put it, Meadows and his staff lived up to the words Jesus spoke in Matthew 25:35 which states:

“For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and youi nvited Me in…”


Their actions were truly generous and heroic as they also braved the frigid temperatures to hand out hundreds of hot meals to complete strangers. And I bet you never heard anything about this

from the mainstream media. Had it been a group of homosexuals or atheists, it would have been all over the news from coast to coast. It was too much against their liberal standards to report a Christian company doing something so positive for so many.

We need to support this and all Christian company's.

Pass this along and bypass the media!

I like that it said to bypass the media. Why would they not want the general public to know how wonderful Chick-N-Fillet is? They just don't get it, it isn't because they are a Christian company, but because of their policies against gays. Some Christians out there still have a persecution complex, because that is what they have done for thousands of years and still are doing. Idiots. Solitary

According to Snopes the story is true but it also was covered by major news outlets. I don't know why but I find the whole "the gays tried to stop us BUT WE PERSEVERED, THE CHICKEN WAS DELIVERED AND GOOD TRIUMPHED OVER EVIL! THE LIBERAL MEDIA CAN'T SILENCE OUR CHICKEN TRUTH!" so silly that it has a naive charm. I just can't get upset about this. I think what the Chick-fil-A staff was great.

I agree, but not to their policies of bigotry and intolerance. Solitary

The chicken is still tasty. I bet they put crack in it too.

Sounds like damage control to me. What does this company want? A cookie? What about the millions of people who do charitable work every day that the media doesn't cover? No one sees _them_ plastered all over the place on the good deeds they've done. If you ask me, this is just a company trying to get more attention to save face. It's sad.

There seems to be a concerted effort by the Christians to make this a Christian nation to support their bigotries, prejudices, hatreds, and refuse to see they are wrong just because they are a majority. This is a secular Nation and why it is the greatest Nation on earth, not because it is a Christian theocracy which they are trying very hard to make it with the help of Christian politicians paid and bought for with by churches and the Church's money swindled from the credulity and ignorance of their fellow unthinking mankind.  :fU:  Solitary
