MEAL TRAIN FOR THE STEWART FAMILY
Lorraine Stewart, a great soul, went to sleep in the Lord on June 8th. Partnered with her husband, and setting an example for her children, she generously gave of herself to others. Now, we come together to support this family who has impacted many lives in a great and sacrificial manner. While expressing your love for the Stewart family, please be mindful that this can be an overwhelming time. Your acts of kindness are greatly appreciated and can support the family best if your interactions are brief, respectful of privacy, and centers the needs and feelings of the family.

EMOTIONAL GRANULARITY
[Some mentioned having difficulty downloading the feelings wheel from the @ygchurch reference, so click the above icon or here to obtain this resource.]
Emotional granularity is an individual's ability to differentiate between the specificity of their emotions. Similar to how an interior decorator is aware of fine gradations in shades of blue, where others might see a single color, an individual with high emotional granularity would be able to discriminate between their emotions that all fall within the same level of valence and arousal, labeling their experiences with discrete emotion words. The research general points to the positive impact of emotional granularity having less episodes of anxiety and depression.

I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?...Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. –Matthew 6:25-26, 34
Let’s discover how to live in awe and wonder of GOD, abiding in peace. No doubt loneliness, anxiety, and discouragement will challenge all of us. But there is GOD’s intent for “life to the full” and we want more of it. Join Younger Generation Church in their new series, Saturdays, 10:15AM CDT. tinyurl.com/YGlivestream
