Sharing Life

Could it be that we are called to share the riches of friendship that we have been blessed with in the same way we are called to share monetary wealth? I've just been realizing more lately how many people in this world are lonely and how incredibly blessed I am with friendship and social activity. The latter part sounds a little weird, but it's true. I'm realizing the life I lead isn't normal. I know a LOT of people and I do a LOT of things. I think I've taken it for granted. But the truth is, those things are blessings. And as I meet people who lack relationship and personal connection, I feel moved to invite them to enjoy the blessings I've received.

Wondering where my joy has gone.

I was remembering this morning that feeling of being excited about life, feeling such hope and overflow of joy. Where has that gone. Most days just drag out for me, and very little seems to truly excite me. What's wrong? So much to understand, I don't know where to start.
