Josiah Duncan is a five-year-old boy who helped a homeless man that he met at Waffle House in Prattsville, Alabama. He bought him a meal, and he prayed with him. It’s a heart-melting act of kindness.

It seemed just like a normal day at a popular Waffle House in Prattsville, Alabama. The town is home to many different people from all walks of life, and that includes a large population of men that are less fortunate. The homeless epidemic in Alabama isn’t as bad as some other places in the United States, but it definitely isn’t non-existent. There are lots of different circumstances in a person’s life that can lead to being homeless, but society seems to be totally against them as a whole. That's not the case with Josiah Duncan.

He's one little boy that had a completely different attitude towards a struggling man he met while having breakfast. This five-year-old was enjoying his meal with his mother. Ava Faulk recalls the events of that day with a lot of love for her son’s actions.

They were sitting at their booth when the kid took notice of a man that was sitting across from them. He asked his mother why the man wasn’t getting any service from the waitress, and he wanted to know why he wasn’t ordering anything. Ava tried her best to explain to him that the man was homeless, but the little boy didn’t understand. She told him that it means he doesn’t have a home to call his own. That immediately drove the little boy into action. He is a real hero in the making!

Josiah told his mother that the man looked hungry, and he asked her to buy him a meal. Ava was amazed at his heroic decision to help the hungry man, and she agreed to it. Josiah went up to him, and they told the homeless man that they wanted to pay for his meal. Josiah made sure he had a menu, and the man was very humble about the situation.

The homeless man tried to pick something very cheap from the menu, and he didn’t want to take advantage of their kindness. He asked if he could have bacon added to his burger, and Ava responded by telling him he could have as much bacon as he wanted! It was a great thing to do for a stranger, but Josiah’s big heart wasn’t finished yet!

The little guy waited until the man had his food at the table, then Josiah began to pray over the food. Josiah‘s family are Christian, and that has a lot to do with why he was so concerned. He sang a little prayer song, and he did his best to make the man feel loved. There were a total of 11 people in the restaurant that day, and Ava recalls that many of them were brought to tears from witnessing Josiah’s act of kindness.

This amazing story goes to show you that anyone can make a difference in another person’s life. This man might not have had a single friend in the whole world, but this loving gesture from a complete stranger was life-changing. It’s not something you see every day, and the people who witnessed it were deeply moved. You can hear his little prayer song in the video.

There are a lot of men just like the one Josiah met that day, and many of them are treated unfairly due to their appearances. It’s great to know that even a little boy can understand the injustice that many people face on a daily basis.
