Not only do we take God and our faith for granted, we take our loved ones for granted as well. We are more grateful to strangers or to acquaintances who help us with small favours now and then, rather than to our friends and loved ones who spend much time and resources on us. The love and kindness shown to us by our spouse and intimate friends seem to be something owed to us and not perceived as graces given to us. When we take people for granted, especially those who are close to us, we do not grow in our love for them
