10 Spiritual Gifts a Mom Can Give Her Children on Mother's Day

While our kids are wracking their brains about what to give us or do for us on Mother's Day, it would be great to give them something of lasting value in return.  

Here are 10 suggestions for gifts we can give our kids for Mother's Day that will bless them for a lifetime.

1. Prayer: Encourage your children to cultivate a strong prayer life. Give them a handwritten prayer journal or a personalized prayer card with verses to guide them.

2. Faith: Nurture their faith by sharing stories of God's faithfulness and provision in your life. Give them a symbolic item like a cross necklace or a keychain with a Bible verse engraved on it.

3. Love: Show them unconditional love, reflecting God's love for them. Write them a heartfelt letter expressing your love and support, highlighting how God's love is ever-present.

4. Bible Knowledge: Teach them the importance of knowing and understanding the Bible. Gift them a children's Bible or a devotional book tailored to their age group.

5. Wisdom: Impart biblical wisdom by sharing lessons from your own experiences and from Scripture. Give them a book of proverbs or wise sayings with explanations for daily reflection.

6. Service: Teach them the value of serving others by volunteering together as a family or engaging in acts of kindness. Give them a "service jar" filled with ideas for serving others, along with a commitment to do them together.

7. Hope: Instill hope in them by sharing stories of God's promises and how He brings hope in every situation. Gift them a piece of artwork or a bookmark with an encouraging Bible verse.

8. Forgiveness: Teach them the importance of forgiveness, both receiving and extending it. Write a forgiveness letter together, and then burn it as a symbolic act of letting go of past hurts.

9. Gratitude: Cultivate a spirit of gratitude by counting blessings and acknowledging God's goodness. Create a gratitude jar where they can write down things they're thankful for each day.

10. Identity in Christ: Help them understand their identity in Christ, that they are fearfully and wonderfully made. Give them a framed Scripture verse highlighting their identity, such as Psalm 139:14, "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made."

Happy Mother's Day!
