“The Savior has taught us that He is the light of the world. (John 8:12) However, He has also taught us that we are to BE the light of the world! (Matthew 5:14) So how do we do this? The answer is simple, by doing as He did and serving daily.”
This year my wife and I decided to get involved in a national social media and local Fort Mill effort to help #LightTheWorld #LightTheWorldFortMill with random acts of kindness basically combining the ideas of “You’ve been Booed” with the movie “Pay It Forward.” What better way to help light the world than to enlist the Pax to help spread a little CHRISTmas kindness and cheer.
Here’s how it works:
Print off two or three copies of the “You’ve been Blessed” and “We’ve been Blessed” files found at the links below. Then deliver the printables and a gift or some goodies secretly to a friend, neighbor or random house. Next perform two acts of kindness or service (pay for someone’s meal at the drive through, rake some leaves, etc.) in secret or not so secret before Christmas and share it on social media to help encourage others to join in the cause. Use #LightTheWorld #LightTheWorldFortMill tags.
You will see these instructions are also included in the printable for the recipient to do the same. Hopefully this creates a viral nature and spreads to a large amount of people in our community as we get closer to Christmas.
We have 20 days and counting till Christmas! Please join us in helping light the world with random acts of kindness and by encouraging others to do the same during COT announcements and on Twitter.
Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas season!

Update: We’ve had requests come in for nationally focused printables! This could be a REALLY big thing if you decide to get involved now and encourage others to do the same. If you want to pass on the love to your friends and family in other communities across the world to truly help light the world with acts of kindness, then click the link below to help get the materials out (or pass on the link to this blog post).
