有幾件人生大事都發生在八月，所以每年八月都令我回憶很多往事。大學畢業後第一份工就是在8月10日上班的，結婚紀念日是8月3日，離開工作轉做全職家庭主婦是8月1日。
轉眼間，離開工作轉做全職家庭主婦已經五年了。雖然當年並非計劃這樣，但這五年也能安於這個工作，喜歡這種生活，縱使這工作很辛苦。還記得當年從《箴言》取經，學習怎樣做一個討上帝喜悅的家庭主婦，今天再回看貼在家中的箴言第三十一章， 心中滿是感恩。
A good woman is hard to find, and worth far more than diamonds.
Her husband trusts her without reserve, and never has reason to regret it.
Never spiteful, she treats him generously all her life long.
She shops around for the best yarns and cottons, and enjoys knitting and sewing.
She's like a trading ship that sails to faraway places and brings back exotic surprises.
She's up before dawn, preparing breakfast for her family and organizing her day.
She looks over a field and buys it, then, with money she's put aside, plants a garden.
First thing in the morning, she dresses for work, rolls up her sleeves, eager to get started.
She senses the worth of her work, is in no hurry to call it quits for the day.
She's skilled in the crafts of home and hearth, diligent in homemaking.
She's quick to assist anyone in need, reaches out to help the poor.
She doesn't worry about her family when it snows;
their winter clothes are all mended and ready to wear.
She makes her own clothing, and dresses in colorful linens and silks.
Her husband is greatly respected when he deliberates with the city fathers.
She designs gowns and sells them, brings the sweaters she knits to the dress shops.
Her clothes are well-made and elegant, and she always faces tomorrow with a smile.
When she speaks she has something worthwhile to say, and she always says it kindly.
She keeps an eye on everyone in her household, and keeps them all busy and productive.
Her children respect and bless her;
her husband joins in with words of praise:"Many women have done wonderful things,
but you've outclassed them all!"Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades.
The woman to be admired and praised is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-God.
Give her everything she deserves!
Festoon her life with praises!
縱使每天日出便要起床（冬天天未光已起床），我仍求天父讓我更有力去做這份工作，榮耀祂！
哥哥升上低班後，寫字的功課天天都有，直接寫字，沒有寫虛線字的練習。媽媽心想，若是第一次執筆寫字的小孩必定會感到困難。媽媽一早已預料到有此一日，所以從他兩歲半開始便教他筆順，繼而寫虛線字，三歲半已可寫到數字及英文字母；重點就是慢及按他自己的節奏進行。
