My Mother, brother & sister all claim to be very Christian like, but IMO none of them are showing it or backing up their words that they preach.
I am 42 & ''very'' happily married with 2 daughters & a son on the way Praise GOD Nov 2nd.
I have not seen my sister in 8 yrs because she has not taken the time to come see us, I have a 5 bedroom Colonial, plenty of room etc.....she always wants us to go there, I am not & will not going to do it again, it's like a game to her, I am tired of being walked on.
My brother is likes to give advice, I am the one that should be giving him advice !
I ran a 5K Race for Cancer & he would not even give me some cash to sponsor my cause, he told me to ask a church ! 
My mom hardly ever calls & acts like a grandmother should, she is 6 hrs away, but it's almost like we don't exist, we send cards to family all the time & never get any response, I am very active in charity work,I back up what I say, walk the walk & talk the talk.
Why does my family not do the same ?
I take care of myself & am always friendly to everyone & I don't tolerate being pushed around or walked on & I am so ashamed of my family that I almost want to dis own them, however I never will, the door is open & they are always welcome to walk through it as long as they see their wrong doing.
When I was younger, I was the ''black sheep'', now it's all reversed, it's like they can't stand it because I did not turn out as they expected. I am also a US Army & Air Force Vet
I am also 1/2 the Admin for the Carolina Panthers Insider.
God Bless You All & I would like to hear as many thoughts as possible.

I have given it ALL to HIM!!! I will not ever worry about pleasing them again. They now see... Even though they think that I may do "TOO MUCH FOR THE LORD" it does not matter...the only thing that makes a difference is what I DOO FOR THE LORD... There has been a GREAT change in my family...they sometimes now call my to pray.. PRAISE GOD
God can and does work in these situations. And He'll help you to do the right thing, especially when the right thing is hard to do. The Lord helped me in a recent situation where I struggled with doing what was right. With prayer I was able to do what I knew the Lord would want me to do and I had a lot of peace about it.
