A 92-year-old North Carolina man got so bored 2 months into retirement that he applied to work at Chick-fil-A...

...his smile, kindness, and passion for Jesus became so contagious that when he got sick and missed 3 days of work, an ENTIRE TOWN began asking where he was.

His name is Gilbert Martin.

Everybody calls him "Mr. Gil."

Mr. Gil is 92 years old, and works at the Chick-fil-A on Oleander Drive in Wilmington, NC.

He spent decades working in the natural gas industry and when he retired, he greeted people at Sam's Club for 12 MORE years, until they eliminated his position.

Most people would call that a sign to finally rest, but not Mr. Gil!

Two months into retirement, he got bored... so he walked into Chick-fil-A and put in an application.

He was 86 years old at the time.

He's been there ever since.

Not one or two shifts a week either. Monday through Friday.

He says the full schedule gives him more chances to be there for people who need him.

His official job is dining host.
Clean tables.
Clean floors.

But Mr Gil doesn't see it that way... as he describes it, his real job is:

"I get a lot of people that are coming in, just been to the doctor, and got bad news... I'm able to be an encourager; the Lord gave me that."

A 92-year-old man who could be resting at home... chooses to stand in a dining room five days a week... so strangers on the worst day of their lives don't have to be alone.

And Wilmington noticed.

When Mr. Gil caught a cold and missed a couple of days, the owner said he was FLOODED with HUNDREDS of customers who were panicked about him.

Mr. Gil has zero plans to retire.

He says if you ever see him working, come say hi.

"I don't know what 92 is supposed to feel like, but I feel great. Serving others has always brought me joy because I believe that a smile and a kind word can make someone's day a little brighter.”

We need more of this in the world!!!!

WTF. Mother of a student at @MarvinRidgeHSNC in North Carolina, says her son's senior year American Flag parking spot design was reportedly DENIED by the school because it "might offend someone."

This student, who is enlisting in the military, can't have an AMERICAN FLAG parking spot at an AMERICAN PUBLIC SCHOOL.

Wtf is going on @MarvinRidgeHSNC?!

My Dad told me he used to play Mortal Kombat on the arcade machines and raced in a 69 fastback and that’s how he met my Mom, apparently they raced against each other??
Holy cool parents dude what the fuck.

This is Willing. She recently learned that sitting gets her a treat and now follows her human around popping a squat every few feet. Can't blame her for being an overachiever. 12/10

I posted this guy a few months ago, and a lot of you loved his response. Someone asked him to make an anti-Trump pizza, and he politely refused. Not because he was protecting one politician, but because he said he wouldn’t make a hateful pizza about anyone.

That’s the kind of business I like supporting. If you’re ever in the area, stop by and grab a slice. 🍕❤️

If you’re ever in Santa Barbara, California, stop by Cali-Forno Pizzeria and grab a slice. Good food, good people, and a business worth supporting.

Path of Titans players held a peaceful dinosaur migration to honor Jurassic Park star Sam Neill after his death

The community grabbed their best dinos and held a peaceful gathering to remember the late actor

🛑 URGENT PRAYER REQUEST! 🛑

Earlier when I asked for encouragement I didn’t say why this evening has been so rough. I am gonna ask you guys to pray for my dad because he fell and broke four ribs while doing yard work and is on the cusp of getting pneumonia, which is incredibly dangerous if you can’t properly cough to expel what’s in your chest. He already has a disease called sarcoidosis in his lungs that makes his lungs weak..… He didn’t need something else. No one in my family did….

Even so, I’m trusting God! I won’t lie…. I’m tired. I’m tired of getting bad news and giving bad news. It does feel like we’re cursed honestly. 😔 Satan is hitting me and my family hard and we are exhausted. We will persevere but I’m like, “how much more bad news can we take?”

Please keep him in your prayers and us as well. If you could also pass it on, I’d be so thankful!!!!! We need every prayer right now.

May the Lord use this for good. Even in this storm, I will praise the Lord!!!

[JeNiSe (ジェニス) ن 🍥 @geekyjenise]

I’m honestly having a pretty rough evening. I’m not gonna lie and pretend that I’m ok. I’m sorry but I’m gonna be a bit selfish and ask for encouragement. Anything will be better than thinking the anxious/frustrated stuff that’s going through my mind. Little help friends?
