Our questions for July have been more for personal reflection.

Here is another reflection, from Margaret Silf's Compass Points:

Events happen to me. They evoke responses. They shape my course, sometimes for better, sometimese for worse.
But I easily forget that I am an event that happens to others. Am I an event that evokes the best in them or one that provokes the worst? When my path crosses the path of another person, whether in a casual or deliberate way, what difference will that encounter make to the other person's life?
Do my interactions and relationships with others leave them closer to who they truly are or farther away?
Does my presence deepen others' life in God, or undermine it? Am I using them to build up my own kindgom, or relating to them in a way that nourishes God's Kingdom for all?
