How heartwarming is this? 5 year old
Josiah Duncan (pictured with his mum) brought brought a group of Waffle
House diners to tears when he
asked his mother to buy dinner for a homeless man he saw outside - and
then sang a blessing with him at the table.
Ava Faulk said her son wouldn't stop
asking her questions when he spotted a disheveled man
holding a bag with his bike outside the restaurant in Prattville. When
Faulk explained the man was homeless, little Josiah asked 'What does
that mean?' Faulk
told Josiah that it meant he didn't have a home, to which her son
responded, 'Where is his house? Where is his family? Where does he keep
his groceries?'
But Josiah was most concerned that the stranger didn't have any food, and he begged his mother to buy the man a meal at the restaurant, she told WSFA 12 News.
The
mother agreed, but when the man sat down at the restaurant and 'nobody
really waited on him', Josiah decided to take matters into his own
hands.
He 'jumped up' and asked the man if he needed a menu, telling him 'you can't order without one', Faulk said.
When the man insisted he would be fine with a simple cheeseburger, Faulk made sure he knew he could have anything he wanted.
The mother remembers that, when he asked if he could have bacon, she told him 'get as much bacon as you want'.
And before
the man could dig in, Josiah said he wanted to 'say the blessing with
him', singing loud enough for the other 11 customers in the restaurant
to hear.
'God
our Father, God our Father, we thank you, we thank you,' he sang. 'For
our many blessings, for our many blessings, Amen, Amen.'
Faulk said everyone, including the man, teared up. It's a moment the mother said she will never forget.
