February’s Motivation
Although the outcomes of your activities may never be known, if you do nothing, there won’t be any outcomes.
At least occasionally in February, one can smell the still-distant but undoubtedly-approaching summer.
February is a short and sweet month.
There is always in February some one day, at least, when one smells the yet distant, but surely coming summer.

I asked the LORD for help, and he responded and delivered me from all of my worries.
