Watch out when your Familiar.

Good Day to all!! I hope your Thanksgiving was as wonderful as mine. I even made it through black Friday.lol

When you become familiar with something sometimes it is easy to take it for granted or even disrespect it.
Familiarity can breed contempt, disrespect, etc. For example take how someone treats a new car. They admire it, wash it all the time, and keeps it clean inside and out. But what happens when that car has been around a few years? They never wash it, they allow people to eat and smoke in it. So needless to say hamburger wrappers in the floor in the back. What happened? They become to familiar with the car and took it for granted.
Look, the same things happen in friendships, marriage, and yes, even the Christian life.
Don't allow your familiarity with your friend, spouse and the LORD make you lose respect for them and take them for granted. Yes, they will always be there for you - DON'T let what is special become mundane. To help not take them for granted remember how special they are to you. And, mainly remember what JESUS done on the cross and never lose sight of that.

1Thessalonians 5:18
Thank GOD in everything, for this is the will of GOD for you in Christ JESUS.

John 7:5
Even His own brothers, who lived with Him day in and day out, did not believe in Him! It is almost unbelievable that someone living with God would not recognize—would not see—Him as God!

^Even here you see familiarity that lead to contemptment^Don't do it. Even the Bible shows how it can be wrong, guard your heart and people and the LORD with love and thankfulness.

In His Name
GOD bless you and yours....
