What should i do when my sister(Christian) is being mean to her mother?
My Boomer Tips
My sister started going to church about 2 years ago. Since then she has been saved and baptized and goes to church regularly. The problem i am having is that she has cut our mother, myself and my son out of her life and her kids as well. We believe in god and follow his beliefs and thank him every day for the gifts and blessing he has given to us. We just dont go to church on a regular basis and talk about God all the time. There has been no communication between us in months, just the other day my sister calls our mother. She tell my mom if we want to see her 2 kids for there birthday and Christmas we must meet her in town for dinner and that we cant go the the birthday party or the Christmas party either. My Mom asked if she would come over or meet somewhere so we can discuss what is going on and get back to being a family. My sister replied no, my mom asked why and my sister went off on her. Saying she talks about people behind their backs, she lies, and she dont wont the her kids around to see that. I personally know my mom very well and she is the one is not the most respectful, honest and helping person i have ever met. I know we didnt have the best childhood growing up but who does. I know deep down that my mom has done everything in her power to give us what we needed and kept us as happy as she could in all points in our lives. What i dont understand is how she can call my mother up and yell at her and talk about people behind their back to her mother, lie to her about why she is really mad at her, and when she is keeping her kids away from their grandmother and aunt for unknown reason. She cusses my mother of doing what she did in a 30 minutes conversation. What i am needing answers for is how to fix this so we can be a family again. I so miss those kids along with my son as well. I have seen my mother heart broken over all this and i wont this to come to an end soon. So what should we do, should we meet her in town or what. Please please help. thank you and God Bless
I thought about contacting the Pastor at Church. He knows us from going a few times to church when my sister got baptized and also saved. we also went when My sister oldest(9) got baptized. I was hoping we didnt have to go down that path, but it looks like we might have to. Also to mention she has deleted both my mother and i from Facebook and also has blocked us from evening looking her up. I know her actions are not what God would want. I Just dont know if the pastor that has somewhat lead her here can help.
Thank you for the wonderful advice and the prayers. they are truly needed and i am continuing to pray for my sister and her family. Again Thank you
Pray with your family vigorously for her (I would do it about 3 times everyday), and you may need to fast as well (the adults in the family, not the children). My mother fasted for a while (more than a month) when she was Catholic, and she was having issues (My Dad was Christian, but my Mom was Catholic) with Christianity and Catholicism (there were many differences that did not make sense to her) and she found the answer and turned to Christianity. May father and mother have fasted for many other reasons that this as well. Fasting is said to put you closer to God spiritually. Meet your sister at the square, but after that keep praying and fasting until you know what to do. She may have some sort of physiological problem, but turn to God first and mainstream medicine second.
She doesn’t sound saved to be acting like that. Either you or your mother should talk to the pastor at your sister’s church and see if he can reconcile your family.
I agree with Ann. Get the preacher at her church to help get the family back together. I don’t understand what kind of a church she joined. I am a Christian and I would never turn my back on my family. I will say a prayer for your family.
i don’t know what you can do but,i would go meet her she needs to know she ain’t the boss of her siblings or older siblings or her parents just her kids and her niece and nephews well and her husband but you know how that is just tell her "wanna know why were here? cause you ain’t the boss of anyone but you’re self you’re kids you’re niece and nephews and if you can’t come to you’re senses then we will cut you out of our lives like you did us." how’s that?
I am so sorry. Your sister is missing the point of Christianity. She is not allowing God’s Holy Spirit to give her His free gift which is the
Fruit of the Spirit – Visible Growth in Jesus Christ
"Fruit of the Spirit" is a biblical term that sums up the nine visible attributes of a true Christian life. Using the King James Version of Galatians 5:22-23, these attributes are: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance. We learn from scripture that these are not individual "fruits" from which we pick and choose. Rather, the fruit of the Spirit is one ninefold "fruit" that characterizes all who truly walk in the Holy Spirit. Collectively, these are the fruits that all Christians should be producing in their new lives with Jesus Christ.
The very best thing you can do is pray for her and don’t argue with her. I will pray for your family also. God bless.
