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!).

I’m Mary and I’m glad you’re here! Since 2014, I’ve been sharing encouraging words, fun Bible printables, and accessible art activities.

let’s talk about . . .

On Substack today: how the testimony of women book On Substack today: how the testimony of women bookends the Gospel story--from Mary to Mary Magdalene. Plus, New Testament scholar Richard Bauckham's book on how the Gospel writers relied on eyewitness testimony. Does this matter for women today? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Artwork Edward Middleton Manigault (1887-1922), Christ Appearing to Mary (1910).
