03_The Unexpected Gift (19 page)
Dear Reader,
It is with mixed feelings that I finish this three-book series for Love Inspired, SISTERS & BRIDES.
On the one hand, I am ready to move on to something new. On the other, it is hard to say goodbye to the characters that have peopled my life for the past eight months.
But in a way, this transition mirrors life, which is a series of endings and beginnings, of saying hello and bidding farewell. In this final book, Grant must say goodbye to an old love before he can welcome a new woman into his life, just as Morgan must say goodbye to an old way of life before she can begin a new one. But with a little push from Aunt Jo, and by putting their trust in the Lord, both find the courage to follow their hearts and build a future together.
As you journey on life’s often winding path, may the Lord always be with you, guiding your steps. And, with trust in His abiding presence, may you, too, find the courage to follow your heart and to look toward tomorrow with hope and joy.
