What a great post and inspiring message! I frequent my local Chick-Fil-A(s) to grab a quick, quality meal with my family (wife Jennifer of 9 years and 3 kids...Lauren 6, Luke 4 and Brooklyn 2). Today, however, I needed a quick place to grab a drink and WiFi access to complete some work by a deadline. This time, after logging on, I noticed the link for dantcathy.com and was curious to check it out. I'm glad I did! After a few quick clicks, I found the words "Daddy Daughter Date Night" which led me to this post. I was already aware of the strong values that run through the veins of the Chick-Fil-A corporation and this post further proves what I already knew...that Chick-Fil-A, its founder, family and leadership really have it right...not just the food, but the heart. As I took the couple of short minutes to read this post, I found myself getting choked up and teary eyed. Not just because of the warmth of the story but because of a somewhat recent memory that was brought to mind. You see, family is the second most important thing to me (the first being my relationship with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ). And with having three children, time with all of them is great, fun, memorable and rewarding, however, one-on-one time with them individually happens less often. So, a few months ago, my wife and I both noticed something about our oldest daughter Lauren. We realized that she needed some special, one-on-one time with her favorite person in the world...ME! It was decided. Lauren and I would go on a date! We set out on a Friday night a few weeks ago for our date to...you guessed it...Chick-Fil-A. What an exciting time! Lauren was sooo excited...just bubbling over with joy. She wore the biggest smile on her face the entire time. She'll know one day that the date meant far more to me...I'm the luckiest man in the world! That was our first date and we look forward to many more dates to be shared at Chick-Fil-A. Thanks for the reminder of such a wonderful time in our lives. Just one more reason why we will continue to support our local Chick-Fil-A restaurants with great enthusiasm! May the Lord continue to bless and prosper you...even as your soul prospers! Sincerely, Chris Powell Lexington, KY Wow! What a great post and inspiring message!
