Quarantine

Quarantine, lockdown 🤔... whatever you want to name it with all the new terms added to the pandemic glossary😷. But the term that is the reason my post is about is S O C I A L-D I S T A N C I N G... (yup even the word itself has a "space"/distance between each letter!) Social distancing has been always there for years and years... conversations have been replaced by a text message or a quick email. Phone calls, and showing care to someone have been replaced by the ease of a simple SMS. Moreover, you can simply ignore replying to a text or reply hours or days later as if the phone is never in your hand.🤔 The technology even got more sophisticated to have your watch telling you who texted you or emailed you and you can reply but no you don't. But why? = Social-distancing. 

Social-distancing even in our own life. You post things on social media and choose to share specific things. All covered up.

I have been living this social-distancing for almost 10 years now, since we've moved to Canada. I remember how we went from a community to another, from a church to another, from even an area to another thinking that we could have the same "social-life" we had back in Egypt... oh no, we were SO wrong to think our childhood friends could have a "recreated" version. During all those years we discovered that what we needed was God in our life so He can fulfill His promise in Psalms 23:1 that we are not alone, He is the One and we won't lack anything. Once He was the one who took over my heart. He opened my eyes to see that I have someone with me in the same house, that together we became one soul is the friend I have been wanting =my dear husband.

The man of too many friends [chosen indiscriminately] will be broken in pieces and come to ruin, But there is a [true, loving] friend who [is reliable and] sticks closer than a brother.Proverbs 18:24.
