Brainstorm:-
So
Genuine love.
Hate evil - Google -> Don't be evil.
Love with mutal affection - magnets
showing honor
The milk and food colour comes to mind but I do not know why.
these are very noble attributes. Character traits.
Christians should have all of these attribuites.
Light - Prism - shows that white light is made of all the colours.
beading multi coloured bracelet to remind us of the character traits.

Somewhat ironic to consider that we are called to have all these character traits and that someone has designatd Sunday: August 28 Refugee and Migrant day.
Romans 12:9-21
Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; Love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
Matthew 16:21-28
Then Jesus told his disciples, "If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit them if they gain the whole world but forfeit their life? Or what will they give in return for their life? "For the Son of Man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay everyone for what has been done. Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."
