Two Unique Mother-Daughter Gifts for Mother’s Day

Springtime has finally come to our world, and a chorus of birdsong greets us with the dawn of each new day.  For our family, this season includes long hikes over rolling hills of wildflowers and quests for frog eggs and red-spotted newts.  It’s also the season for celebrating our mothers.  This year, I’m excited to share two unique mother-daughter gifts for Mother’s Day.

2 Thoughtful Mother-Daughter Gifts

1. I Love You, Mom: Cherished Word Gifts from My Heart to Yours 

About a year ago, I discovered a book that changed my life.  I Love You, Mom: Cherished Word Gifts from My Heart to Yours by Blythe Daniel and her mom Helen McIntosh blessed me deeply.  Shortly after opening the book, I wrote these words:

As the Lord used this book to soften and open my heart with gratitude, an unexpected shift took place in my spirit: I encountered the warm and nurturing side of God’s heart in a way I had never experienced.  In addition to spurring gratitude, this wonderful book is expanding my capacity to receive God’s nurturing comfort.

God is our heavenly Father, but he also possesses every quality we see in a loving mother.  He is tender, compassionate, and attentive.  God cares for our most menial and hidden needs, and like a loving mother, he attunes with our emotions.  He weeps when we weep, and he is filled with joy when we flourish.  I am experiencing these realities as God reminds me of his character through the words of this touching book.

As Blythe and Helen’s words touched my heart, God moved in a surprising way.  My daughter Bekah (who was then 11 years old) saw the book sitting on our kitchen table and said, “Mom, we should write a mother-daughter devotional book together!”

I agreed, but I honestly didn’t think a book would come to fruition.  Much to my delight, less than a year later, Bekah and I published a book filled with 60 devotions for moms and daughters to read together.  Girl to Girl: 60 Mother-Daughter Devotions for a Closer Relationship and Deeper Faith went on sale in November 2022, and we have been blown away by the response to this book!

2. Girl to Girl: 60 Mother-Daughter Devotions for a Closer Relationship and Deeper Faith

Mothers and daughters around the world are telling us how this book is changing their lives.  These 60 devotions each contain commentaries from both of us, conversation starters, a prayer, and a shared journaling section for moms and daughters to complete together.

Bekah and I would like to thank Blythe and Helen for inspiring us to write our own mother-daughter devotional!  We would also like to thank the mothers around the world who are sharing the good news about our book.  Word is spreading because moms on mission are hard to stop!  Moms, thanks for telling your friends about our book.  Thank you for buying this book for your sisters, cousins, daughters, nieces, and loved ones.  God is using Girl to Girl to transform lives.
