In January, the simple kindness of a Christian restaurant manager in America went viral after a customer posted a picture of the incident on Facebook.
Mark Meadows,who manages a Chick-fil-A shop in Birmingham, Alabama, gave a meal and his own pair of gloves to a man who appeared to be homeless. Bystander Andrea Stoker captured the exchange on her phone and posted it online, where thousands of people have since expressed their support.
Chick-fil-A’s aim in business is: ‘To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A’.
Journalist Todd Starnes, writing about the incident, said that the unnamed man asked if he could carry out some work at the cafe in exchange for food. ‘Now, it would not be unusual for a person like that to be escorted out of a restaurant. But the Chick-fil-A on Highway 280 is no ordinary restaurant’, Starnes wrote. He added that Meadows then offered the man food and, when he noticed his cold hands, gave him his gloves.
