Fil-A for the Family

Yet another reason that I love Chik-fil-A.

And I'm not just talking about the food.

This blurb is an excerpt from the Family Research Council email that I receive. It is just too good to not pass on to you.

The Family that Fil-A's Together...

...stays together. Or, at least that's the hope of S. Truett Cathy, founder of the Chick-fil-A restaurant chain. Cathy has implemented family-friendly policies for the 600 employees at his Atlanta-based company. Mr. and Mrs. Cathy themselves have been blessed by a 57-year marriage, an inspiration for some of the pro-marriage seminars their company offers as part of its standard benefits package. Scott Stanley of Denver's Center for Marital and Family Studies agrees. He notes that levels of conflict at home are related to productivity and absenteeism on the job. Even more important, S. Truett Cathy's 900 franchise restaurants publicly honor God by closing their doors on Sundays. May God bless the Cathy family and I say to them: thank you for all you do for America's families.

Praise God there are some business owners who get the importance of family.
