Generous restaurateur receives a priceless gift

For years Anaheim restaurant owner Bruno Serato has helped feed poor kids at the local Boys and Girls Club, even practically going broke in the process. He may have thought his generosity was ended when his White House Restaurant burned down, but then he received a surprise. Steve Hartman, who first interviewed Serato back in 2010, returned to discover another lesson in compassion.

It's not karma. It's called what you sow is what you reap. Amazing man

[@chakshuchauhan1102]

Thats exactly what karma means my bro

[@HaleyPrettyEyes100]

Not really. Karma is from Hinduism and Buddhism with their word for fate, sowing good seed and reaping your fruits is from the one true and only God, which is Christ/our Heavenly Father/Holy Spirit.

@mysterychemistry mysterychemistry nope....in the Vedas it is taught that u just keep doing good deeds instead of longing for the fruits...karma is what goes around comes around...karma means what u sow is what u reap...and nirvana means u get reassimilated into god...doing good deeds and doing good deeds to get love of God are two different things
