A year like this proves that just about everything in life is fragile. Like a delicate Christmas ornament, our lives can shatter at a moment’s notice. Thankfully, God provides us with Christmas gifts that are unbreakable. In his Son, he gives us peace, joy, and hope that nothing can destroy. Today we see how the Christ child gives us an unbreakable family. Though he was God’s only begotten Son from all eternity, in time he became our brother. As a result, we are adopted into God’s family and made children and heirs of eternal life. Though we may not be able to gather with loved ones this year, all those who gather around Christ’s manger belong to his eternal family.
