Instead of the old idea of Mother’s day coupons for a free hug, or doing a certain chore, etc. try making a small booklet where the child, or an adult helping a small child can fill in things they will pray for their mother. Add drawings and a picture of the child to make it special and unique.

For example:

Mommy, I will pray for you to have a great ________________________ when we can have lots of fun doing _________________________.

Mommy, I will pray for God to give you _________________________ when I ______________________________.

Mommy, I will pray for your ______________________________ because I know you _______________________.

The children’s ideas will generally be unexpected, yet precious to the ones who know them best.
