Some of the fondest and nostalgic memories and reminiscences we share are those of our youth and the individuals who shaped and gave us formation for the better part of our days. I recall looking up to various elders in my youthfulness who shared their wisdom, experience, gifts, and compassion to create within me a sense of growth and maturity. It may have been the elementary school teacher whose wisdom imbued you with admiration for knowledge. How often did we silently and possibly secretly seek to imitate these heroes, even imitating their simple expressions and gestures. Imitation is the highest form of flattery. However, they never sought such adulation. Rather, their quest was sharing the “good routing” of God’s plan for us.
