Do Your Work Heartily Coloring Page

This week’s coloring page is a reminder that everything we do should be done heartily or willingly and with enthusiasm:

Do your work heartily

[click on image to print]

The sentiment is really a combination of two Bible verses, one from the Old Testament and one from the New:

  • “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might…” (Ecclesiastes 9:10)
  • “Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men.” (Colossians 3:23)

Shouldn’t that be our goal? To do whatever work we’ve been given to do as if the assignment came straight from the Lord? Because it has. As Ephesians 2:10 tells us, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.”

Do Your Work Heartily

In my case, many of the “good works” God has given me to do revolve around my roles as a wife, homeschooler, and stay-at-home mom. Those roles carry with them responsibilities such as:

  • managing a big family and busy household
  • preparing tasty, nourishing meals
  • investing in my marriage to keep that relationship healthy and strong
  • teaching and training my children so they will grow into responsible, caring adults
  • showing hospitality to friends
  • keeping our home well-organized and clutter-free

To help me do all those jobs to the best of my abilities, I look first and foremost to the LORD. I read His word daily and pray for the wisdom and strength He promises to those who ask. (James 1:5; Isaiah 40:31)

Beyond that, I read other books that offer practical advice for tackling each of these different areas in intentional ways. You can find some of my favorites here.

More Resources for Readers who Color

In the meantime, take a look at my devotional journals. At over 200 pages a piece, they are packed with writing prompts, coloring pages, word studies, and lots and lots of Bible verses. Read more about them here: What readers are saying about our journals.

Or — if you’d prefer to skip the journaling exercises — check out my Scripture-based coloring books. Although I designed these with grown-ups in mind, they are good for all ages.

    I just wanted to say what a blessing it was to find these beautiful free coloring pages on your site. I work for St. Roch Community Church in New Orleans and I got a letter this week from a Mission in Belize asking us to pray for some children there. One of the children sent a coloring page with the letter and so tonight I wanted to have the children at our church color some pages to send back to them. Just wanted you to know your beautiful work will be a blessing to children near and far this week!! 🙂

      I truly appreciate your writing to share that with me, Julie. Your note encouraged me the day I received it — and again this morning when I found it at the bottom of my inbox! 😊 It makes me happy to think of my coloring pages being sent all around the world.

Animal Farm. If you look closely enough, you can s Animal Farm. If you look closely enough, you can see Old Major in the barn addressing Boxer, Clover, Benjamin, Muriel, Jessie, Bluebell, Snowball, Squealer, Napoleon, and all the others. Abby arranged this scene  herself — proof that she was paying close attention when I read George Orwell’s classic aloud to my kids last week.  It has been more than 75 years since Orwell first penned this political fable, yet it remains as relevant today as ever. Wish our elected officials who seem so inexplicably enamored with Socialism would take time to read and ponder its message.  #fourlegsgood #twolegsbetter #flandersfamilyreads

I’m a list-maker by nature, and I’ve tried to I’m a list-maker by nature, and I’ve tried to teach my kids the value of making lists, as well.  For instance, sometimes when they’ve continued to squabble or butt heads even after I’ve called them down, I’ll send them to opposite corners of the house with a list-making assignment:  ✅ “Describe 3 better ways you could’ve responded in that situation than the one you chose.”  ✅ “Write down 5 things you love and appreciate about your sister. “  ✅ “List 10 ways you could show kindness to your brother. “  With that last one, I’d follow up by telling them to choose a different idea off their list every day for the next 10 days and do it.  Gradually, over time, those kind, loving deeds became their default behavior. And as a bonus, the kids not only learned to be kind to one another, but showed similar courtesies to friends, other family members, and strangers, alike.  Want to be more loving to the people God has placed in your life? Brainstorm ways to show kindness to them. Because love is kind.  #happyvalentinesday #bekind

What does patient love look like? It takes time to What does patient love look like? It takes time to listen. It doesn’t tap its toes, drum its  fingers, check its watch, or roll its eyes.  It doesn’t act irritated or annoyed when the object of its love needs time or attention. Patient love is selfless and long suffering — just as God is with us.  As Christians, this is the kind of love God calls us to demonstrate to our spouse, our children, our neighbors, and even our enemies — a constant, unruffled love that bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. A love that would be quite impossible apart from the endless grace and indwelling power of God.  #goals #radicallove

Jesus bids us, “ Continue in my love.” (John 1 Jesus bids us, “ Continue in my love.” (John 15:9) And what exactly does Christ’s kind of love look like?  He sums it up for us in Luke 6:27-28: “Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who despitefully use you.”  The good news is, we don’t have to look far for an opportunity to put this command into practice. Nor must we do any of this in our own strength.  God’s empowering grace enables us to forgive offenders, to extend kindness in response to rudeness, to show mercy to the unmerciful, and to point  unbelievers to a Savor who sees them, knows them, and loves them enough to die for them.  #jesuslovesme #thisiknow #forthebibletellsmeso
