Chick-fil-A is normally closed on Sunday, but at a location in Alabama it opened it’s doors to fulfill a birthday wish. 14-year- old, Elijah Sprague is autistic and has cerebral palsy.
For his birthday all he wanted was to work at the drive-thru of Chick-fil-A. According to Christian Post, the manager and uncle to Elijah, Walt Gilstrap and owner Mr. Glen opened the doors to make this happen.
Moreover, Elijah passed out cookies to 40 cars and then went inside to celebrate his big day with a cookie cake.
On Facebook, Elijah’s mother, Rene Sprague wrote about the special day and said, “The way people love this kid amazes me. It has truly changed the way I live my life. Loving people with your whole heart, [judgments] aside and with no anticipation of rewards. Thank you to every single person that loves our Elijah. When the Lord’s restaurant opens for your birthday party, it makes the news.”

Rare Lunar Eclipse Happens Sunday
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Here comes a total lunar eclipse and supermoon, all wrapped into one.
The moon, Earth and sun will line up this weekend for the only total lunar eclipse this year and next. At the same time, the moon will be ever so closer to Earth and appear slightly bigger and brighter than usual — a su- permoon.
“This one is particularly good,” said Rice University astrophysicist Patrick Har- tigan. “It not only is a super- moon and it’s a total eclipse, but the total eclipse also lasts pretty long. It’s about an hour.”
The whole eclipse starts Sunday night or early Mon-
day, depending on location, and will take about three hours.
It begins with the partial phase around 10:34 p.m. EST Sunday. That’s when Earth’s shadow will begin to nip at the moon. Totality — when Earth’s shadow completely blankets the moon — will last 62 minutes, beginning at 11:41 p.m. EST Sunday.
If the skies are clear, the entire eclipse will be visible in North and South America, as well as Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Great Britain, Nor- way, Sweden, Portugal and the French and Spanish coasts. The rest of Europe, as well as Africa, will have par- tial viewing before the moon sets.
