Having served as missionaries, Rachel and I have been on many plane flights. Occasionally, we have been on a flight with a crying baby. It did not happen often but a few times. You feel sorry for the crying baby and the mom/dad too but if the infant cries for very long, it can be unnerving and make for a long flight.
A month ago, a couple was taking a flight out of San Francisco. They had twins, 14-weeks old. In anticipation of their babies crying, the couple prepared goodie bags containing candy and a note apologizing – in advance – for the potential disruption. The note read:
“Hello! We’re twin baby boys on our first flight and we’re only 14 weeks old! We’ll try to be on our best behavior, but we’d like to apologize in advance just in case we lose our cool, get scared or our ears hurt. Our mom and dad (AKA our portable milk machine and our diaper changer) have ear plugs available if you need them. We are all sitting in 20E and 20F if you want to come by to get a pair. We hope you have a great flight!”
A fellow passenger reported that the babies were “fantastic flyers” and commended the parents for being “brilliant and thoughtful” (World, October 6, 2012; pg. 18).

Indeed! Brilliant and thoughtful. And loving. Loving your neighbor, even if you don’t know them. It is doing for your neighbor – in this case, apologizing preemptively for potential disturbances – as you would like for them to do to you.
This nameless couple is inspiring. I hope they inspire you. Once again, consider the thoughts of Paul on love: “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things” (1 Corinthians 13:4-7).
