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!).

On this Friday's pretend podcast: 🎤 Reflecting On this Friday's pretend podcast:
🎤 Reflecting on writing The Jesus Speaks to Women series, especially learning about female Bible scholars.
🎤 The last Jesus Speaks to Women study on Mary and Clopas on the road to Emmaus, and thinking about the Old Testament’s influence in the Gospel of Luke (with a TV show analogy)
🎤 My ideas for what’s next after I wrap up this study.
🎤 Starting The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, journaling practice, and a printable I made of the creative affirmations from the book.
🎤 Art I created this week

Just published on Substack: Chapter 17 of the Jes Just published on Substack:  Chapter 17 of the Jesus Speaks to Women study. 

In this study of Luke 24:13-35, I look at the Jesus' conversation with the two disciples on the road to Emmaus. I think there's a good case to be made that they were a couple.
