and eat a glorious meal that 99% of the world can not afford, surrounded by the warmth and comfort only loved ones can provide, they still seem to not understand the magnitude of each moment in time. They see only dinner and Christmas; while I see God's gift of life. Besides my rhetoric and scripture which they do not believe, How do I show a group of loved ones that have experienced much pain that through God we can make life special? In other words, How may I bring the truth to them when I am a nobody?

You need to realize that you have no "knowledge" of the "true God", yourself. All you have is a belief, which is not to be confused with knowledge.
And it might help you to recognize that since you only have a belief, and do not know, you might just as well be wrong ... for all you KNOW.

Show them through example. Live the live. Be humble, and let them ask the questions. Don't try to shove it down their throats. I made that mistake when I first got saved. God is not in a hurry. He has probably put you into their lives for this very reason, but don't get ahead of God. Be accepting, be likeable, but don't compromise your views. Show them the love of God, just like Jesus would have done. No condemnation! Bless you, and, oh yes, pray about it, and ask the Lord what He would have you do. We are all nobodys. God loves to take the nobodys of the world and use them to bring the truth!

Sounds like you got the religious gene in your family. Don't expect them to change to suit your beliefs. And why are you calling yourself a nobody in your own family? What are you, the dog?

You can't cause family will only see the fleshly side of you. Not the spiritual side.
Mat 13:57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
Just set the example of being a good Christian.

You can't bring the truth to them, as it is your own personal truth and each individual has their own. By allowing them to exist with their truth, you show them the benevolence of your belief in God.

you are a someone. all you can do is witness. don't force. if they don't want to listen then just leave it alone. at least you told them about God.
