Finding The Chick-Fil-A Customer
The Good Samaritan was tracked down and asked why he gave his boots away. The man shared that when he and his granddaughter were out that morning, they decided on a whim to go into Chick-fil-A versus using the drive-thru. Townsend says, he now knows that God put them in that restaurant for a reason."God said, I'll supply your needs, and that's all that matters. I don't worry about nothing. I have a roof over my head, shoes on my feet," said Mark Townsend.[caption id="attachment_45019" align="alignnone" width="864"] credit: KMOV[/caption] Mark Townsend saw the man in need. Without hesitation, he offered his boots.
"My granddaughter said, 'Pa, why did you do that?' And I said, 'because God spoke to me, and said to give him my shoes,'" explained Townsend.Townsend didn't offer his shoes as a way to make a statement, become an internet sensation, or feel better about himself. It was an opportunity to be a blessing. A moment he believes was orchestrated by God, alone.
"This is not about me. It's not about my granddaughter, which this started with. This is all about God, the voice of God," he says.His willingness to act out his faith through this moment has proven to be an amazing example to others. Without intention, Townsend's action made an impact on Hallie Cassady's life and now, on those through social media. RELATED: Good Samaritan Pays For Stranger At Gas Station, Then Leaves Note

"...it's that it's better to give than it is to receive. To reach out to people in need," said Townsend.
