The Life That Fronts Us
Story★★★★Near the end of his life Alexander Maclaren was talking with an old friend who spoke of days past when life was in front of them. Maclaren got up and with gleaming eyes said: “Life fronts us now: it is not behind us but before.”
The point
An aged Alexander Maclaren tells a friend that life still lies before him, not behind—life continuously fronts us as we age. A profound word about perpetual hope and forward orientation.
