Overcoming Is An Action Word

by Marilyn Okoye Giving thanks and being grateful is easy when all is going well.  How do you remain grateful when we are in the eighth month of a pandemic?  In our last post, Give Thanks With A Grateful Heart , we talked about different ways to express our gratitude.  I can't say this enough, especially in the midst of this pandemic.  A good reason to live with an attitude of gratitude is that it may help improve the quality of our health and well-being.

A lthough every day is a day of thanksgiving, November seems to mark the season that many people begin to really hone in on why they are grateful. 2020 has been full of distress, to say the least, and one may wonder, "What reason do I have to be grateful?" It may not be easy, but I implore you to look beyond the despair, grief, injustice, and uncertainty of this nation and turn your heart and mind to a place of gratitude.

In October, we will take a look at a few action words that can help us overcome.  It is my hope that you will put these words  into action  in your life to walk into your healing process, pursue your dreams, and know that you when you do, you are more than a conqueror, I decree you to be an OVERCOMER. Unforgiveness can have a debilitating hold over one's life. It can be physically and mentally exhausting to harbor unforgiveness. Physical impairments like sleep deprivation, aches and pains, and heart health can stem from unforgiveness. Depression and anxiety are a few mental afflictions that can have its root cause in unforgiveness. Releasing the anger, resentment, and stress of being bound to a series of traumatic events, decisions, or choices is forgiveness and is like medicine for the soul.
