Beautiful and inspiring story. However, this sentence cheapens its effect:"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?" Why do that? I heard about it that day. So many times you guys say certain things are never reported by the so-called Liberal Media that have been duly covered. Suggesting such a thing takes away from this wonderful gesture and makes it a political meme.


I h**e to admit it but I agree with you rumi !

I've seen on FB good things that I would pass on in a heart beat but then at the end they say share if you're not afraid to . OR when they post a crippled person a say I bet I can't get one share because I'm not pretty !

These I just pass up every time I come across them !

The "Chicken" In The Blizzard


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 their 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 buses 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 on 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.

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. Audrey Pitt, manager of the Chick-fil-A, 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 wh**ever 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 refuse 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 you invited 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. Their liberal bias and intolerance would never allow them to report on a Christian company doing something so positive for so many.

We need to support this and other Christian companies that are trying to spread the Good News of the Gospel through their daily work.


Pass this along and bypass the media!

This is not the first time CHICK-FIL-A has done this. It is like natural disasters. It is the conservative Christian organizations that show up to help while the liberals sit on the sidelines.

I’ll bet you didn’t hear it over and over again, on CNN, like you did with hit job, after hit job, on President Trump.

That is his choice, but what is most offensive is he calls himself a man of God, not any man of God I know would speak so h**efully of the masses of Americans.

This is a wonderful thing chick-fil-A did, and I'm sure there are many generous, giving things people of all races, religions, non-religious have done during the many environmental disasters we, ve had over the past year, from fires, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, storms, people helping people that is what Americans are all about, and no, we don't hear about it as much as we should. That's when we don't ask, what party are you, are you gay or a t*********r, or anything else, let us live that every day.

Liberals are keen on sharing other people's money; But not their own money.

They will give the shirt off your back, and tax the person they gave it to.

Actually; Dems/Liberals will tax the person who's shirt they "shared".

If it moves, tax it.
If it keeps moving, regulate it.
If it stops moving, subsidize it.

Lefty chapter and verse.
