As a happy little summer to you, I’m sharing a printable “count your blessings” coloring page, FREE to download below!
Counting blessings was on my mind this week. I can be such a task-driven person, that I forget to slow down and really savor and count the blessings God has given me. My mind moves quickly from thing to thing and I can easily land on discontentment. I have often thought of “counting” blessings as listing them, but what if it means more like valuing them, letting them carry weight in my life?
I am asking myself this week, Do God’s blessings count in my mind?
By the way, this drawing is based on a hymn painting I did last year around “Count Your Blessings” and also a sticker!
If you haven’t been reading along with my Jesus Speaks to Women Bible studies on Substack, I’d love for you to join me! Chapter 4 of the Jesus Speaks to Women is out now! I learned so much writing this one. I had never seen Vasily Polenov’s painting of this story from John 8 before, and boy does it have a backstory that involves deathbed promises, censorship, and the tsar of Russia! I’d also never really studied this story in its context in the Gospel of John. Studying the Bible always leaves me astounded and this story didn’t disappoint!
Anyone can read the study on Substack for free, but paid subscribers can download the study guide with discussion questions and a coloring page based on Polenov’s painting.
