Well, I have heard this before “loving God calling Him father in love (the degree of love that is) may depend on the kind of earthly father a person has.” I don’t believe this is good Biblical thinking. My thinking is, there no earthly father good enough to compare to our heavenly father. So the very best earthly father would be a disappointment and not allow us to love our heavenly father beyond the point of disappointment, since at best our earthly father is a disappointment compared to God. It may be more probable that the poorer our earthly father is the more we may love our Heavenly Father. As I have said, I have heard this before and I think it is a bad argument and should not be used, after all who can compare to our Heavenly father. I believe as Scripture claims the Holy Spirit cries out from our hearts Abba, Father: Gal. 4:6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”

Thank you for hitting home. The part about grasping the depth, breadth and height of God’s love through extravagant gifting. Since it has been my role to select most the gifts, it had been my practice to let go of budgetary restaint shopping for Christmas, (since God gave so much, this is nothing, kind of approach) starting in September and anything else that “ooh, Mom and Dad (brother/sister/in-laws) would like this!” in the months that followed. Recipients were always overwhelmed, as was Don when the Visa statements came. I always considered it a love language to give presents and know i’m wired that way; in retrospect, i see more than a little pretense, and a kind of making up for what we don’t make time to give of ourselves.
Mom and Dad, and then all the Manzels have determined this year to give no presents, however, we are all gathering at their home, some from another state, to celebrate Christmas together. I already see a deepening sense of-of something wonderful happening.
This (no Manzel gifts) is also changing the approach to gifts for my husband, my brothers and their families in Ohio, for our daughter, employees. It’ll be a shock to some, i’m sure. This time, i’m giving much more prayerful consideration toward what to give.
Never thought of consumerism as an idol. Hmm.
