FREE Count Your Blessings Coloring Page

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,...

Jesus, Friend of Sinners + Jesus Meets Zacchaeus Luke 19:5 Coloring Page

Image: Zacchaeus in the Sycamore Awaiting the Passage of Jesus by James Tissot from the Brooklyn Museum. James Tissot painted a whole collection of painting on the life of Jesus that you can explore HERE. I have been meditating on the theme of “Jesus, friend of sinners” that I see as I read through the book of Luke. Here are two passages I find really interesting. Would you consider them with me? “Jesus went on to say, “To what,...

Printable Graduation Gift Print: Proverbs 3:5-6

My girls are turning 13 and 15 this month, and I have been reflecting on how much they’ve grown. They’ve both made comments to me recently that encouraged me and made me realize how they’re growing in wisdom. We have all the normal struggles, of course, but I am so proud of the women they’re becoming. One of you dear readers suggested a graduation printable a while ago and here it is! I love these few verses, but really...

Identifying Jesus’ Disciples, Doing Good in our Neighborhoods + a John 13:35 Printable Coloring Page

Last week on the blog, I shared about a local organization I volunteered with called Bridge of Hope that addresses homelessness.

Introducing two new Bible printable sets + a free sample coloring page

My business has changed a lot over the last 10 years! I started off making cute animal prints for nursery decor on Etsy. In 2015, I started writing this blog and created my first Bible verse printable. I was looking for Bible coloring pages to do with my kids, and I couldn’t find what I was looking for. That led to creating my printable Bible verse cards and coloring pages. In 2018, I started exploring watercolor, and that led...

Welcome to the blog!

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 . . .

A gray squirrel in oil pastels and 6-B pencil, and A gray squirrel in oil pastels and 6-B pencil, and dear Dolly. 💓🤍
I learned so much from this study of Luke 4:1-13 a I learned so much from this study of Luke 4:1-13 and the testing of Jesus in the wilderness (as I do every study through this incredible book). I thought this painting by Briton Rivière captures the spiritual, mental and physical anguish of the moment for Jesus, a torment that would continue until the end of his life. I added Hebrews 2:18 to the coloring page for this study: "Because he suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted." 

So many treasures from this story, but something new for me was the idea that Jesus  faced temptation not just by rotely quoting Scripture--even Satan could do that! It was deeper than that. Each of the Scriptures he quoted placed him in the story of the people of Israel and their failures as God delivered them from Egypt. He faced temptation by understanding the larger story of what God was doing in the world and what he was called to do. Where Israel had faltered, he would be faithful. This is what allowed him to see through the temptations he faced. I find that so encouraging. 

You can read the full study on my Marydean Draws Substack page. Paid subscribers can download the printable study and coloring page.
