PRINTABLE Love & Encouragement Notes

It’s back-to-school time again and I know there’s some kiddos (or adults!!) out there that need some words of affirmation and encouragement.

I think of these words:

“The wise of heart is called discerning, and sweetness of speech increases persuasiveness.”

“Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.” Proverbs 16:21 & 24 ESV

I made some simple printable cards you can use to share some sweet, life-giving words wtih your kiddos. This file is formatted for standard 8.5 x 11 paper. To cut in fours, make cuts at the 4.25 and 5.5 inch marks. 

 

You can download the file HERE!  All my printables are free for your personal use!

    Thank you for sharing these! I'm not a mother, but I do teach and coach. I plan to use these to write encouraging notes to my volleyball players as I love on them and share the Gospel with them this season. I know the cheerful drawings will bring smiles to their faces (even high schoolers like cartoon superhero hearts!).

New episode out now! The Pictured Word Podcast epi New episode out now! The Pictured Word Podcast episode 20: Jesus Speaks to Women: The Family of God (from Luke 8:19-20 + 11:27-28).

How does Jesus define the good life? Who gets to be in the his family? In this episode of The Pictured Word Podcast, we look at the words Jesus spoke to a woman who calls out to him in a crowd. Jesus responds with a continuation of a key theme in Luke of both hearing and obeying the words of Jesus.

A new Bible study of Luke 4:31-44 is posted on Sub A new Bible study of Luke 4:31-44 is posted on Substack. I'm so struck by the personal and compassionate nature of Jesus' healings here. I also ponder an interesting male/female pairing of the miracles by Luke. Find Marydean Draws on Substack!  A printable version of the study with a coloring page is available for paid subscribers, but anyone can read the study for free. 💕

Artwork is from an illustration by Rembrandt.
