On the Job Meditations: 25 Encouraging Bible Verse Cards for Moms
Just one minute of looking up
instead of down–at the dirty floors or a crabby kid–
can change your whole perspective as a mom.
When you meditate on biblical truth throughout the day–whether it’s in the car, at the kitchen sink, or while changing a diaper–your heart and mind are transformed. Peace beyond understanding melts away anxiousness. Thankfulness snuffs out self-pity. Gracious words replace impatience. Times of refreshment come to a weary soul.
We know (oh how we know!) the struggle it can be for moms to find alone time to read the Bible, pray and be still before for the Lord. These 25 Encouraging Bible Verses (NIV version) are designed to help you get creative in your time with God, allowing you to practice “on the job meditations.” Place these cards where you traffic the most and lift your eyes up all day (or night, while you’re nursing or rocking a sick child) to your Father in heaven. Or gift them to friends and family–especially new moms–so they can do the same.
Since we want these verse cards in as many moms’ hands as possible, we are offering them for only $4.99. After purchase, you’ll immediately receive an easy-to-print PDF file that includes:
- 25 encouraging Bible verses (NIV version) on trendy 3.5 x 2.5 note cards
- a matching “Gift for You” card
We received this feedback from an expectant mom who recently was gifted a set of our verse cards,
“I received a set of On the Job Meditations at a baby shower and am so excited to use them! I immediately started planning all of the different places I could put them: my car, bathroom mirror, kitchen sink, nursing station (maybe I will put 5 there), laundry room. The verses are carefully chosen and are words of encouragement that will help me focus on the cross when navigating motherhood during both its challenges and joys. Did I mention the cards are adorable? Modern, fresh and clean. I can’t wait to purchase them for all my mom friends!” – Megan
*PLEASE READ–How Permissions Work for this Printable: We had to sign a contract with Biblica (NIV’s permissions division) because of our use of the NIV verses. So these verse cards are copyrighted by law and have some limitations. So, here’s what this means practically for the purchaser:
- You may not pass along this PDF to anyone else, sell or receive any contributions in exchange for these cards.
- You may print this PDF for yourself as many times you like. We understand that you might lose them, spill your coffee all over them, or a toddler may use them as a coloring book.
- You will need to purchase one set for each person you intend to distribute them to. i.e. If you want one set for yourself and another for your friend’s baby shower, you need to purchase two sets. If you want to print more than 5, contact us and we’d be happy to give you a discount on additional sets.
- Ministry Group Rate: If you want to give these away in bulk in a church or ministry setting, please email us to explain your situation. We want to work out a group rate to help you get God’s Word in moms’ hands.
Are you ready to dive into God’s Word or encourage others with this unique, life-impacting gift?
These are such a great idea and so lovely! Any chance you could make them in KJV version?
Thanks for the feedback and idea. Making cards like these requires paying for permission from the Bible publishers, so I don’t think we are going to pursue this at this point. Sorry!
I am interested in including these cards in a Gift Basket to our new Mom’s in our congregation.
My name is Julie Kesler and I am the Director of Restoration Ministry at Momentum Church, Crown Point, Indiana
What is the rate you are offering to Churches for the PDF file?
Sincerely,
Julie Kesler
I just sent you an email with details, Julie!
I want to buy can i print it?
Yes, you will receive a downloadable PDF file of these cards immediately after purchase. Let me know if you have any other questions I can help with. Thanks!
Any chance you will be designing a new batch of these lovely designs with new verses? I already purchased these are am ready for some new ones! Email me at [email protected] if so!
Ohhh, good idea! So thankful they’ve been helpful to you. 🙂
Which 25 verses? I can’t seem to find a list.
Hi Marsela
We actually haven’t listed out the verses anywhere. You’ll need to purchase the product to see them all. Thanks!
hi 😉
I bought these lovely cards on 9 August 2014. I am not able to go to the link anymore. I lost my cards when we moved but would like to print it again. Is it possible that you send it again please?
Thank you
Emailing you right now, Carike! Glad to help.
Hi, can you suggest a format, card stock type, design on the cards maybe for me?
The cards are already formatted and designed for you. I am also not aware of the different types of cardstock. We just just plain ‘ol white. Hope that helps!
I don’t have paypal will you take American express
I believe you can use any credit card through Paypal. Just click that you’d like to pay with a credit card when prompted. Thank you!
anyway i can get these in a different translation? ESV?
We love the ESV too, but we do not have permission from them to create ESV verse cards. Sorry, our contract is with NIV.
What kind of paper should I use to print the cards?
Thank you!
White card stock is ideal.
Do you have a version of these that are not just for mom’s but for a busy working friend that doesn’t have children yet? I would like to give these to a group of girlfriends, but don’t want to leave her out or make her feel awkward.
Thanks.
We don’t, but you could certainly leave off the the title card and pull out the two verses that have to do with children specifically. I hope that helps.
These are just lovely, Ladies. Thank you so much for making them available to us. I just printed them for my daughter who is having some big struggles with her 3 children, ages 8 & under. She’ll love these…and the recipes too. While they were printing I thought of a young friend who just had her first baby, so I will be sharing with her also. Love your blog and all you do here. God bless you richly & always.
I hope these verse cards are a blessing to your daughter! Thank you for your purchase. I will pray for her right now.
I love these cards! I had a question about the license/copyright. I am coordinating a MOPS group and would like to include these in our new mom welcome gifts. Can I print unlimited copies from one download (as long as I am not sharing the pdf with others), or do you have some kind of group license thing I need to buy? Thanks so much for putting these out!! I think they will be a huge blessing to our moms!
Hi Ellen,
I just email you with a response. Technically, according to NIV permissions and the way it works for us, they cannot be distributed without purchasing an individual verse pack from our store for each person you give it to. We have not made that specifically clear in our store or on this post before now, but we will from here forth. To be honest, we weren’t exactly clear on how this worked ourselves. That being said, we would be happy to work out a group deal for your ministry, because we are very passionate about getting God’s Word in moms’ hands. We want to make this feasible for MOPS. Please email me and we can talk.
Can I pay for them without using paypal?
There sure is. You will click “Pay with Paypal” and then there is an option at the bottom of the next page that says “Pay with debit or credit card”.
Hey! Thank you for these cards! I shared them today at Happy Home Fairy! I hope it brings you a little traffic. 🙂 http://happyhomefairy.com/2014/03/20/new-mommy-survival-kit/
Thank you! We pray for each person who purchases one–that these verses will be a blessing to them.
These look great! Did you print them on cardstock? or a certain weight paper?
Thanks! Just regular ole cardstock.
Thank you so much for creating these cards – love them! I purchased them about two weeks ago and just realized that I deleted the download link (unfortunately it’s no longer in the trash folder either). Is there any chance you would be willing to send me the link again? I’m happy to forward you my email statement from paypal confirming my purchase.
I will email you right now, Carlynne, and we’ll be happy to get them to you!
Beautiful!
These look wonderful! Especially when it’s difficult to get a moment alone 🙂
What Bible translation are the verses in?
NIV
