Even when we face the hardest trials of life and uncertainty, there is one thing we can always be sure of and that is the love of God.

During this busy season, Finding Grace In The Wilderness' last episode of 2025 pauses and reflects on the truth of Christmas. The truth is that Christmas is all about love. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Whosoever is each one of us. Jesus came to this world for each one of us.

In this episode, Sharon discusses how our enemy tries every way possible to keep us from accepting Jesus and experiencing the closeness that God intended for us to have with Him. The enemy asks the question, "Did God really say that?" in an effort to get us to doubt God and His great love for us. We have to know the voice of our Master, know His character,and know who asked the question to avoid this trap.

Thank you for taking time out of the hustle bustle to listen to this episode and ponder on the truth of Christmas. Please follow to receive notifications of future episodes. Thank you for sharing with your friends. That is how our ministry grows.

May your holidays this year be especially blessed with God's peace, joy, and His never-ending amazing grace!

This episode will include a special recording from the recent 2025 Grace In The Wilderness' Joshua's Hope Christmas Brunch for Bereaved Moms. Sharon shares how God has helped her cope through the Christmases since her son, Bradley, passed away four years ago. God is the friend that sticks closer than a brother and He is a great Helper and Comforter of the brokenhearted. Sharon shares about how He has spoken personally to her and help to carry her through the difficult days of Christmas by focusing on the tree. Jesus died on the tree for us. The evergreen symbolizes eternal life which is only made possible by the greatest gift ever given to us. For God so loved the World that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16. That precious gift is what Christmas is all about.

Because of God's great gift, if we accept Jesus as our personal Savior, we can be reunited with our loved ones who have gone on before us to Heaven if they also have accepted Christ. This is a blessed hope that gets Sharon by every day until that day she will be reunited with her son and be in the presence of Jesus and God to live forever in Heaven. We pray it is a great comfort for you as well. If you don't know Jesus as your Savior but would like to, please reach out to Sharon at sharonhawkins.net/contact and send her a message. She would love to contact you and share with you about how to come to know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior.

Join Sharon for the reading of the Christmas Story and a beautiful liturgy for Missing Someone this Christmas.
