New Chick-fil-A song by Tim Hawkins and Dan Cathy's Fruits of the Spirit

Worldly controversy does not surprise the Christian.  The real issue at heart is not the opinions of Businessman Dan T. Cathy or Chick-fil-A as a company, the real issue the world has is with the Bible.

Truth is painful and people do not like it.

There is no logic in the arguments that are seeking media attention.  As a Christian, there is peace in knowing they are right on track following the Lord and the Bible and the Lord will bless.

Meanwhile, enjoy this HILARIOUS Chick-fil-A song by the amazing and fun Tim Hawkins!




A friend of ours said it so well, "Since when did eating a chicken sandwich, the best one :), get to be a political statement."

By the way, it was NOT Chick-fil-A who went out starting a controversy and seeking attention for believing what the Bible says.  They said not a word about the gay movement, simply we believe in the Family Unit that God has ordained.  Amen!

It was the negative, controversial types who attack a Christian man with fruits of the spirit like "Love, joy, peace, gentleness, long-suffering :) meekness, faithfulness, self-control, against such there is no law."  Ephesians 5:22-23.

Notice these Biblical principles in the Dan T. Cathy and the Chick-fil-A staff as they demonstrate self-control in not attacking those who attacked them.  I Love this genuine love that comes from the Father of lights.

Love and prayers! God Bless!  See you at the Chick-fil-A soon!

Chick-fil-A on Leadership #CFABackstage Tour

"Get the food right, serve the food to people like family and then magic begins to happen in the dining room."  Dan Cathy 

Chick-fil-A invited me to join their Chick-fil-A Backstage Tour of their Headquarters in Atlanta!  And the number one thing we saw demonstrated is Servant Leadership.  Chick-fil-A is all about service.  Chick-fil-A believes  "Every body has a Story...If We Only Bother to Read It." 

This MomBloggers dream!  Seriously, the joy of what I do is getting to work with our absolute favorite brands.  There was not a second of hesitation in participating when I received the invite. 


... before I knew it I was warmly welcomed to Atlanta. 


The Chick-fil-A Moo Cow Chauffeur Service arrived.  Yes, I was all smiles. 


 Here we are at the Welcome Dinner at The Pecan in Atlanta.  It was relaxing and fun to get to know everyone before our big {#CFABackstage Tour} and the food was delicious.  It was first class like Chick-fil-A.


       



I have long loved the brand, see how it fits into all of our lives, even our homeschooling. :) 

Our morning started with Breakfast at the Original Chick-fil-A, the Dwarf House, in Atlanta.  This was wonderful.  We got a backstage tour of the restaurant. 




 Dan Cathy even opened in a devotion and word of prayer.  As he said, "At our house we pray and I'd love to lead us in prayer."  Amen!  Talk about a blessing.  I got tears in my eyes realizing I am "working" with these incredible folks and this was more like a church service.   We all got a photo with him at the Dwarf House Door. Too fun! 



 We saw the handmade Chocolate Pies being made.  Learned about the CFA philosophy and how important people are to this business.

Then Dan Cathy served us the old-fashioned item of choice "Hot Browns" and they were a treat. A rich treat.  So I chose my eggs over easy and chicken minis.


That is the priority of Chick-fil-A people and customer service which equals leadership with a number 1 brand!

Corporate Headquarters were a sacred place.  There were inspirational quotes and works to inspire all around.  We even got to tour the famous CFA Museum.  What a treat.  The history is fascinating.  As they say, "We didn't invent the Chicken, we invented the Chicken Sandwich!"  So fun.

Then we went into the kitchen at Corporate to learn how to make the handmade homemade Fresh Squeezed Lemonade!  And my new, Mom Blogging CFABackstage friend Marina and I won!!  That was a blast!  See!








Here are all the Mom bloggers together.  


Yes, my North Carolina friend, Lisa Frame was there!  I got spoiled spending time with her
and we got a fun pic for the Carolina Girls.  After the awesome dinner, we had a quick little shopping trip to Target for a few beauty essentials. I mean a girl has to have mascara, right!  
And an after dinner, Starbucks Latte.  Life is good in Atlanta! 



We were overwhelmed with the amazing business ethics and quality of their 
entire staff we met.   


These traits are all throughout the Corporate headquarters to keep everyone centered on their values and what Chick-fil-A means to them. I love the Family, Laughter, Faith, Selfless, Hardworking... Integrity. 
They were all so noteworthy and inspiring. 



It was a wonderful blessed time and now, the boys and I are ready for Chick-fil-A! :)  How about you? What are some of your favorite aspects of Chick-fil-A?  :)  Thank you Chick-fil-A for sharing your kindness, leadership, love and chicken with all of us! :)  And we love working together!


Warmly, Carolina Mama

*FTC Discloure: Chick-fil-A invited me - and other MomBloggers -  on the CFA Backstage Tour to their Headquarters in Atlanta to learn about the History and Legacy of CFA. 


My trip was provided by CFA, my writings are provided voluntarily and with my own opinions that are biased toward my love for Chick-fil-A, the brand, the food and mainly the People! 


Chick-fil-A Homemade Lemonade Recipe

We are at Chick-fil-A Headquarters in Atlanta on an amazing Mom Blogging Event. It has been an incredible time to learn all about the core values of Chick-fil-A. We got to meet most of the Cathy family, I think!

Dan Cathy, James Cathy, Trudy and Bubba Cathy! All an incredible family

While at Headquarters, we got introduced to the Homemade Lemonade! And there was a Contest and we won!! Yes, my new friend and I won the hand-squeezed Lemons Contest! :) Then we made homemade Lemonade! :)

Here's the Chick-fil-A Handmade Lemonade Recipe

8 hand squeezed Lemons
1 C. Sugar
43 ounces of Water

Squeeze Lemons - yields about 1 1.4 cups of Lemon Juice; Stir in 1 c. of Sugar and pour into the 43 ounces of cold water. Stir well.

Pour over ice. Enjoy!

Thank you Chick-fil-A!

Chick-fil-A gave us a Ruler with the quote: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." Love it. We have loved learning what built this company.

Warmly,

Cow Appreciation Day


We're planning on partiipating. Eleven years ago it was a great date with Mountain Man on a Friday night. Today it's Dressing Like A Cow with the children and having dinner at Chick-Fil-A. I love my life. I always looked forward to this role. It's the best. Overwhelmed with dressing like a Cow? Chick-Fil-A makes it easy for you - go here for your own kit of Cow Decor to self-decorate.

My menu, Southwest Chargrilled Chicken Salad with Fat Free Honey Mustard Dressing and Sweet Tea ... that was UNsweet Tea with Lemon and Equal. :) (Old habits die hard. And if you're a Southerner who loves your sweet tea, you know Chic-Fil-A's is the best next to Mama's.)

New Look - Tell Me Your Thoughts

Hey Ya'll, I am so excited! I am getting a Carolina Mama freshen up from Our Moments, Our Memories. Jackie is christening her new Web and Blog Design business with a design here at Carolina Mama.

Am loving it. We're doing a little Spring cleaning. All my friends and faithful readers can still get to the silly and daily content they have come to like here, and anyone is looking for me to brilliantly, tout their business and products through PR, Review and Advertising can find what their looking for too.

That's right ya'll, just as soon as this homeschool mama finishes up her first year of homeschooling her twin sons, she is looking the business world right in the face and saying yes we are here for you. Carolina Mama has always been a cheerleader and a writer naturally. Never mind the writing degree or the Cheerleading Captain stats, it's who I am.

And guess what? Those two go hand-in-hand in todays social networking, mommyblogging world, so I have a lot to share.

Whether you're a mama at home raising your babies and attempting to make every day count for eternity or if you are at Chick-Fil-A headquarters wondering why I love Chick-Fil-A so much, there are exciting things going on - yes, even in this wornout economy - so see ya soon.

*** Remember, next week is the "Best of Carolina" Live-Blogging from Ocean Isle Beach, NC! There will be lovely Giveaways too! Get your Carolina game on! (We still love our Hurricanes! even if the Cup is not looking good for '09.)

Have a blessed Memorial Day Weekend!

By all means, tell me if you like the spruce up so far? Any ideas? Thanks for reading and following. Shout out to Stay Calm and Have A Cupcake - my 100th Follower. :) Thanks everyone!!
