ok i have been trying to become a better christian and i have started to read the bible more often and make me and my mom go to church as well. i reall yam trying hard.. i also want to bring my family closer to God and Jesus Christ. I talk to my mom alot about christianity and the bible and tell her that we need to change alot of our ways and sacrifice alot for God. she agrees but she can be sometimes alittle hardheaded. you see my brother married a girl in ukraine and later they divorced. Well her parents got a green card moved here and lived with us and at first was all good but later there were problems that pissed my mom off and now she has hatred towards them and they workd at her job and she hates and i try to tell her to not do that but she cant help it they just get on her nerves .. like the husband barely does ne thing at the job and she always cleans up after him and he makes her angry alot i dont know how to help her with her problem i dont want her to be so stressed please

The best help you can be is to be a happy, healthy Christian. Do not put any additional pressure on her. Becoming a better Christian or even just a better person has to come from that person.
Trust her to work out her own problems at work, just as you would want her to trust your judgement in those things that are important to her.
Last and most important, pray (which is just talking to God). he knows better than anyone how much you love your mother and want good things for her. Tell Him what you wish for her and ask for His help. He will help if you but ask.
You sound like a thoughtful. caring child and I would be proud to have a child like you.

I think you've begun to take the right steps to helping your family out. The closer you and your mom draw to God the more peace, love, compassion, and forgiveness you'll have for other people. The bible says to love one another with an "agape" love. That's the love that is not selfish or turned inward, its totally turned "outward" toward other people. I know that sometimes people arent "loveable" but we are called to love anyway. You become a leader in your family. Draw close to God and pray that peace will settle in your family. All things are possible with God. Hes a big God! and what your family is going thru is a very small thing for God to fix. Theres a story I heard recently. A man arriving in heaven asked God what all these cars, homes, jewels etc were for? God replied they were for YOU! But you never ASKED for them. God wants to give us the desires or our hearts. Tell him your desires for your family. He wants to give that to you!!!!
God Bless you and your family!

Your mom needs to realize she cannot change anyone else, and that she needs to learn to pray and trust GOD so she can have peace instead of stress.

tell your mom not to think too much..bring her to church..get her involved with the activities there...maybe she need to think about other things...I'm sure there a lot of activities at you local church..get her involved and get her mind off domestic matters...

What is your question? You cannot force someone to succumb to your beliefs.
