'Blessed' by babies

While I am on the subject of airplane experiences, it seems that I am always ‘blessed’ by little babies. On my right side there were two empty seats. Across the aisle there were three more seats. These seats were occupied by a husband and wife and their little baby. This baby was about three or four months old, and he was crying and screaming at the top of his lungs.

I prayed to God to remedy the situation.

God said, “This is how the world cries.”

I said, “This little one is not crying out of pain. We human beings cry because we are suffering. But in what way is this one suffering? Why then is he crying?”

God listened to my prayer. The mother had a little toy, and she began jingling it in front of the baby. The child was very happy, and within ten minutes he had fallen asleep. That was God’s solution to my predicament.
