George Sanchez writes in Discipleship Journal:

I was visiting my daughter's home when my grandson grabbed my hand to take me to see something. My daughter and he had found an uncracked robin's egg in the backyard. Inside the house they had made a cotton nest under a lamp and placed the egg in it. They found out what the temperature should be and had a thermometer to check it. They were going to watch the egg hatch.

My daughter placed a card in front of this little experiment that said, "Shh, I'm happening!"

I thought how good it would be to wear a big sign around me that said, "I'm happening." Every time you looked at me you would say, "George is still happening—he's not there yet, and he's going to have some faults in the process." And if you had your sign on, I would say the same about you. That's forbearance.
