Weeks later, Ethan returned, celebrating a successful project. That Sunday, his father insisted the family attend church to give thanks. At Victory Light Church, whispers spread about Ethan, the eligible bachelor.
Among the congregation, Sarah, the lead singer known for her beauty and prideful judgment, noticed him immediately and performed with a flourish, hoping to attract his attention.
After the service, Ethan gave a generous offering and shared his testimony. Sarah whispered to a friend, “He’s single, rich, and influential. I must have him.”
Later at dinner, Mr. Carter teased Ethan about the women staring at him in church. “Dad, we were in church. How could I focus on ladies?” they laughed.
Days later, Pastor Matthews visited, reminding them of the upcoming Thanksgiving service. On the way to church, Ethan noticed a woman helping an elderly man cross the street. Her name was Grace.
A single mother and church usher, she was humble, kind, and devoted to her son, Liam, and her sick father. Despite past hardships—being abandoned by her high school boyfriend and raising Liam alone—her faith remained steadfast.
