The
Christian-owned Chick-fil-A is well-known to the liberal mainstream media.
They
portray it as a company that forces
its religious and cultural views on others.
But the
media was strangely silent last winter when a rare snowstorm in the South left
countless motorists stranded on the slick road for hours in subfreezing
temperatures andChick-fil-A
once again made its religious leanings known.
A local
Birmingham, Ala., restaurant provided not only food to some who were stranded
along Highway 280 but also shelter.
Employees
stranded at the store, led by manager Audrey Pitt, prepared hundreds of
sandwiches and trudged through the storm to distribute them to motorists, some
of whom had been stuck in their cars for up to seven hours without food or
water.
Aubrey
said that the move showed exactly what was at the
heart of Chick-fil-A — the Christian principles of its owners.
“This
company is based on taking care of people and loving people before you’re
worried about money or profit,” she said. “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.”
In
addition, the store opened up its dining area to anyone who could get there and
wanted a warm — if not exactly comfortable — place to sleep.
And in
the morning, more food, this time chicken biscuits.
The
charge for this room and board?
Nothing.
They wouldn’t accept a penny.
Thanks
to the always-attentive folks over at Mad
World News we know about this story and the fact that “The only thing
that Chick-Fil-A has closed is its cash register.”
We
could offer several explanations for why the mainstream media never picked up
this story.
They
only cover stories where they can claim that Christianity is hateful or
divisive, for example, or they didn’t want to place Chick-fil-A in a
positive light.
But
with winter once again preparing to descend, the important thing to remember is
this:
If
you’re driving in snow, try to keep as close to a Chick-fil-A store as you can.
You never know when you might need them.
