Have you ever had a fight with your brother? or argued with your mom? I know that happens to all of us. But your job is to bring peace to your home. Now I know that you have heard this one million times so lets make it one million and one. "Honor your father and mother" Now as being divorced my dad would always do that to me and my siblings. He would try to force us to go with him to his house for the weekend. He never won though. Now Im not trying to slam my dad I am just giving an example. But anyways if your mom or dad says honor your father and mother every time they tell you to do something like go with your dad for the weekend (like me) or you have to visit your moms family for Christmas this year doesn't mean you have to to. To honor your father and mother means to respect them that means "Yes Ma'am"instead of "Fine" and be respectful mature when you talk them about something.
Now no matter how bad or stupidly insane your family is you should love them just as Christ loves you. Because or purpose in life is to worship God and to be as much like Jesus as possible.
Here are some steps that I got out of a book called God guy by Michael DiMarco. These steps are to show you how to act around your family:
1. ask yourself what God wants to teach you through this problem or person
2.Apologize
3. Dont escalate the conflict
4. be willing to be wrong.
I hope this helps you guys out there like me. Feel free to comment!
