Mark Meadows, above, passed out food to stranded motorists in a recent snow storm
"It has been so cold in Birmingham, Alabama. It was especially bitter on
the afternoon of January 7th and a good many folks had taken a respite from the
cold by grabbing lunch at the Chick-fil-A on Highway 280 in Inverness. One of
the diners who came in that day was a bit unkempt. He was wearing jeans and a
hoodie hardly the kind of clothing for a day like that. Most folks just figured
he was a homeless fellow. The man first made eye contact with Mark Meadows, the
owner of the Chick-fil-A."
The actions that Mark Meadows
then took to help this cold, shivering, homeless man is shaking the world today
because one customer video-taped the entire event with her cell phone. What did
Meadows do that was so impressive to the rest of the world? He cared. And he
showed that he cared.
" 'He asked if there was
some work he could do so that he could get something to eat', he said. Now, it
would not be unusual for a person like that be escorted out of a restaurant ...
So instead of ordering the indigent man to leave, Mark invited him to have a
meal. As the man waited for his chicken sandwich and waffle fries, Mark could
not help but notice the man was rubbing his hands together ... The man did not
have a pair of gloves. So Mark gave him his."
This Christian businessman put
Jesus' commands into practice.
* "if any man will ....
take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also." (Matthew 5:40)
While the context of this
Scripture is a court of law forcing a believer to surrender his coat, the
principle remains; Christians are to demonstrate that our love for Jesus is
greater than for our coat.
* "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the
Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to
keep himself unspotted from the world." (James 1:27)
Mark Meadows demonstrated his willingness to help a very
poor man "in his affliction"!
The result of Mark's Christian attitude, backed by his
actions, was remarkable.
"The entire encounter lasted just a few minutes and
that was that. But in this day and age of SmartPhones that was not that. Andrea
Stoker happened to be eating lunch in the restaurant that day with her little
boy. And she could not help but notice the interaction between the store owner
and the disheveled man. She took a photograph and posted a message on her
Facebook page a message that has since gone viral."
Andrea revealed that this demonstration of Mark's love
for a man who could not repay him in any way, shape, or form, touched her to
the center of her soul.
"... the manager asked if the man had any gloves and
handed him his, then got him the meal of his choice. There is still so much
good in this world and I'm so grateful that Bryson saw it all unfold' ... 'Ive
concluded that Chick-fil-A is a chicken sandwich for the soul'."
Andrea is close to understanding
the real reason Mark Meadows went out of his way to help a poor homeless man
when she credits the "culture" of Chick-fil-A chain, but she fails to
see Jesus Christ in the midst of it all.
No one in the community has seen
this homeless man since. It is as though he disappeared as soon as he walked
out the restaurant door. Did Mark Meadows just "entertain an angel
unawares"?
"Be not forgetful to
entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."
(Hebrews 13:2)
