I firmly believe that if the Christian community at large gets OAing, we will discover that it is indeed contagious. Everybody hopes that things can be at least a little better. People act differently when they see their hopes realized! I was thinking the same thing!

First, Jacqueline got OA'd by the lady with the large cart of stuff. This lady was paying attention to others around her and offered a small act of kindness to J, who was holding six items. I'm pretty sure this kind of otherlyness is contagious. Second, J (no doubt basking in the glow of being OA'd) intentionally gave HER attention to the lady who had been kind to her. That doesn't always happen, but often is the natural reaction to someone paying attention to YOU. Way to LISTEN, J. Third, J seemed to extend the OA practice to some unauthorized prayer for this woman and her family. Another free attention giveaway that will, no doubt, cement this lady in J's mind and heart for a long time. A double OA with a reverse twist. Nice. Here’s what I like about this story.
