WE ARE NOT QUARANTINED!

We are not quarantined. I wish people would stop referring to what we are doing as a quarantine…..

If we were quarantined, we would not be allowed to go to the grocery store, drug store, or anywhere else for that matter. A ‘Stay at Home Order’ is a lot different than a quarantine.

Quarantine…. a strict isolation imposed to prevent the spread of disease.

a period, originally 40 days, of detention or isolation imposed upon ships, persons, animals, or plants on arrival at a port or place, when suspected of carrying some infectious or contagious disease.

Stay At Home Order… is an order from a government authority to restrict movements of a population/people to stay at home as much as possible, but make exceptions to go out for medical care, food, and essential work.

I don’t want to be quarantined! I would much rather be ordered to ‘stay at home’.

Noah’s Family was under a lockdown/quarantine.

40 days, 40 nights in the Ark, Noah's family was confined in a boat. There were no windows, no balconies, no terrraces. They only heard the rain. They spend their time praying, loving each other and caring for the animals. God the father took care of them as Noah was a man of faith and obeyed His word. Remember even though there is out there an ocean of viruses and life seems like a stormy ride, Our God is watching over us! Do not be Afraid! Be faithful to Him and wait patiently. The rain will stop one day. A rainbow will shine and all be well again.

I am anxiously waiting for God’s rainbow promise after this storm of virus.
