It just doesn't sound right that Filipinos were created to care for white folks' children, even though some immigration laws give them a special break to do so. That means I was wrong and (even more shocking) that American culture may be wrong about something. Surely, the Creator who endowed Americans with inalienable rights also endowed them with capacity to carry out their inalienable moral responsibilities. Maybe men should not emulate machismo friends who think extreme sports and video games are more important than inspiring and disciplining their children. Maybe women should not emulate feminist friends who think corporate promotions and charitable organizations are more important than loving and feeding their children. Maybe the hand that rocks the cradle does rule the world and we should all do a lot less talkin' and a lot more rockin'. Thanks to the many humble Filipinos who aren't too important to do the important work on this planet. More humility and more time spent with children would probably benefit all of us. Jesus claimed the Kingdom of God was made up of children and those with childlike hearts. I just hope some of us Americans are allowed in as well.Lynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650107408481074843.post-53192341341852498072014-06-01T12:23:51.692-05:002014-06-01T12:23:51.692-05:00Mike,

I am also thankful that Filipinos in heaven no doubt pray for those of us sophisticated folks who like technology more than snotty kids and are probably headed for a more "tropical location."Lynnoreply@blogger.com
