Unsolicited advice (21/12/2016)

I used to think before now that unsolicited advice from strangers is exclusive to Nigerians but today, I was pleasantly surprised and laughed so hard!
I had an ongoing transaction which I began with a particular customer service representative and as such insisted on seeing her in particular although others were free. I waited patiently for a couple of minutes and it finally got to my turn. She recognised me and we quickly got to business, to be sincere I had never seen someone so excited doing her job most especially a banker! She was literally gay with excitement and because I enjoy small talks with random people, I stated it in a question like manner "You seem to really love your job" and she went "oh yes I do, I enjoy meeting different people and helping them out." I was impressed, then I noticed her beautiful wedding ring on her finger and asked out of pure curiosity if she had kids and she said  "Yes one, he's eighteen years old and just like his father!" I was taken aback, she honestly looked too young and then she went on to tell me her age (forty-eight) seeing my surprise and then she asked my age. I told her and she went "oh you're young do you have boyfriends?" I laughed,  I answered her and she said anyways it is good. She went on to say this wasn't the time to have just one boyfriend that  I should have as many as I like that life was just too short! That when I meet him...I would know, and then I could consider dating just him 😂😂😂😂😂 but that for now.. many boyfriends but I should be careful not to mix up their names. See me see laughter! I was just thinking, how do I begin to bring in my faith into this conversation and loyalty and all that.... I decided not to I only said okay Ma!😂😂😂
In all of these, she never stopped even for a second. She was clicking away on her computer with regards to my request while dancing to a tune only her could hear.

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men. Colossians 3:23
I don't know if she was a Christian or not but sitting there and watching her brought that scripture to mind.
It was beautiful!
