Columnist: Dr Bernard Kumi-Boateng

A note of gratitude to my manager

Proverbs 18:22: Whoever gets a wife gets a good thing, and has the approval of the Lord.

Nine years ago an exceptionally beautiful young woman (Harriet Kumi Boateng) from a well cultured God fearing Church of Pentecost home at Kronum, Kumasi accepted to be my wife and play the role of a mother!

I grew up in a broken home and left to survive on the high streets of Bantama and later in Tamale (this story shall be shared another time).

When she accepted to marry me at the time I had lost my mum with no confidence in life and a really really poor upbringing, oh Jesus! I knew, she was in for a real deal!

But 9 years on and still counting, she is such a great mother and wife! Her record at home is exactly Proverbs 31:26-29!

Her (Harriet Kumi-Boateng) mouth is open to give out wisdom, and the law of mercy is on her tongue. She gives attention to the ways of her family, she does not take her food without working for it. Her children ( Maame Owusuaa Kumi-Boateng & Kofi Gyimah Kumi-Boateng) get up and give her honour, and her husband (Bernard Kumi-Boateng) gives her praise, saying, Unnumbered women have done well, but you (Mrs Harriet Kumi-Boateng) are better than all of them.

My dear am not surprise you've been a FANTASTIC mother at all because of the GOD FACTOR you had in your upbringing and the impact your name Harriet is having on you as the MANAGER of the KUMI-BOATENGS. Your children (Bernard, Ama and Kofi) are extremely grateful and God bless you.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY our PRAYER leader, LOVE and COACH!
