Happy Birthday, Jemima! Jemima, you are the strongest person I know—resilient and firm. A woman of faith, so unshakeable. You are incredibly thoughtful and love without abandon. All of this makes you such a strong and steadfast human being. How can anyone not love you? One of my most unforgettable memories with you was when you gave my husband and me the treat of a lifetime on our 20th wedding anniversary in Ghana. God bless you, Jem! I pray that you live out the full purpose of what God has planned for you. I know that purpose is filled with untold blessings because God has already begun a great work in you. I love you, girl. May it be to you according to His word. Happy Fiftieth, my dear. Gwendolyn Gyaben Happy Birthday, Jemima! It won’t be easy to write just one thing I love about Jem, so let me share a few. Jem embodies grace, strength, and an unwavering spirit. I’ve had the privilege of witnessing her through various seasons of life, and no matter the challenges or joys, her innate qualities of grace and strength always shine through. Her deep love for God and for others continually inspires everyone around her. Her boundless generosity—sometimes to a fault—is simply who she is: caring, selfless, and remarkable. One memory I deeply cherish is of Jem and me sitting together on the porch of Willie’s house, deep in conversation about our “issues.” That talk was more than just words—it was a turning point that significantly impacted our families and the direction of our lives. Jem, do you remember that moment? It’s stayed with me, a reminder that as long as there’s life, there’s hope. Happy birthday, dearest Jem. Today we celebrate you— your beautiful spirit, your laughter, the love you so freely give, and the blessing of simply knowing you. Reaching 50 is a milestone, and as you embrace this special day, may the promise and joy of jubilee feel tangible and real in your heart. May it bring you happiness, peace, and love. Today and always, may you be surrounded by love, good health, wealth, and God’s abundant blessings. Yacoba Happy Birthday, Jemima! Jem, you have a biiiiig heart— generous to a fault. Growing up, cooking for the household was shared amongst the girls on a weekly basis, and we all looked forward to your week. Your food was always tastier, and you dished out larger portions for us, the boys. How you managed that, even when everyone was given the same amount of money to go to the market, is a true testimony to your generosity. And it didn’t stop there oo! Even as adults, a visit to your house has always been a gourmet adventure—you go chop taya! If someone had a need and came to you, 90% of the time you made it happen. Even if you didn’t have it, you would find a way. I wish you God’s abundant grace to keep being a blessing to all who come your way. May your life be filled with joy, contentment, and peace at home—plus everything you wish for yourself. Lawrence Adigbo Happy Birthday, Jemima! One thing I love about you is how kind and lovely you are to everyone. I remember the fun we had back in high school—your dressing alone would make anyone want to talk to you! My wish is that God should protect you. Prosperity and favour should be your portion. Long life and happiness in all your days on this earth. Nathaniel Neequaye The Birthday Journal 43
