One year when I was a kid, I decorated the house with lots of candles, wrote verses about The Light of the World on folded index cards decorated with candle stickers, and sat one next to each candle. A kindness elf project could be to buy a candle for a neighbor, put in a wrapping tissue paper filled basket (Dollar Tree usually has the supplies for $1 each), and decorate an index card with "Light" stickers & one of these verses:
“I am the world’s
Light. No one who follows me stumbles around in the darkness. I provide plenty of
light to live in.” ~Jesus (from John 8:12, The Message)
"You’re here to be
light, bringing out the God-colors in the world." ~Jesus (from Matthew 5:14, The Message)
"Everything was created through him [Jesus]; nothing—not one thing!— came into
being without him. What came into existence was Life, and the Life was
Light to live by. The Life-
Light blazed out of the darkness; the darkness couldn’t put it out." (from John 1:3-5, The Message)
"The City [Heaven] doesn’t need sun or moon for
light. God’s Glory is its
light, the Lamb its lamp!"
(from Revelation 21:23, The Message)
"I am
Light that has come into the world so that all who believe in me won’t have to stay any longer in the dark." ~Jesus (from John 12:46, The Message)
