Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, it's Delilah. Thank you for stopping by. I have
put together some of my favorite radio moments here to
share with you on our daily podcast, Do Love. There
is a man who's an author, he's a pastor. I've
met him. I love him. His name is Max Locato,
(00:25):
and he said, the people who make a difference are
not the ones with the credentials, but the ones with
the concern. The ones with the concern, be concerned about
one another. The world's gotten crazy, there's no doubt about that.
I say that all the time, but it's true. There's
so much division and distrust. Be the neighbor that's concerned,
(00:53):
Be the neighbor that reaches out in love. Don't worry
about your crudentials, or what you're wearing, or how fancy
your car is. That doesn't matter. The people who make
a difference are the ones who are concerned, the ones
who are caring. Give of your time. That is the
(01:18):
most thoughtful gift of all.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Hi, Susan, thank you for your patience. What can I
do for you?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Well, I'd like to hear a song for a lot
of special young ones that come and visit me stay
at my house. I've just got a heart like golden.
I'd love to have them all here. And there was
one very special one that stayed with me for a
while when he was having some rough time at home.
And I just like them all to know that I'm
(01:47):
always here for them and have those open arms and
just want to be here.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
So you're kind of a mom to the neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, as far as the neighborhood can reach.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
They're in their teens, they're in their late teens, troubling
scary years when they just don't feel like anybody understands
and sometimes they just need somebody to listen and be there.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
So you've got listening ears and always arms to hug.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah, but you know what I get rewards in return.
I've had them surprise me with washing my car or
you know, come home with groceries, and I have a
whole load of them that'll come out there and help
carry them in the house. And I've been known to
stare and cry over a bill and had one that
sat there and patted my back. And they're just there
(02:36):
for me as much as I'm there for them.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Well, Susan, you keep being mother Teresa to your world,
and I'll play a song for you.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Thank you bye honey, by bye. I received this letter
from a listener who says, hello, Deliina. My wife and
I recently went out of town for the weekend to
see some family. Before we left our home that week
and we noticed that our street was filled with emergency vehicles.
(03:04):
They were parked at Jim and Peggy's, the neighbors that
we have enjoyed the most in the months we have
lived here. Peggy had gone to the hospital earlier complaining
of breathing problems. Now she was unconscious, but thank goodness
someone was there to call nine one one. The emergency
personnel were able to revive her, and soon the excitement
was over, and we promised Jim and Peggy we would
(03:26):
check in upon our return from the weekend. When we
came home, Jim knocked on our door with the shocking
news that God had called Peggy home later that night.
She had suffered a brain aneurysm and had no chance
to say goodbye. My wife and I are so saddened
by this. Jim and Peggy were the kind of people
(03:47):
that couldn't make friends with anybody. They helped look after
our home. They invited us to barbecues and were just
great neighbors and good friends. It's hard to imagine how
many lives are affected by people like that. We're going
to miss seeing Peggy and her delightful face each day.
We can take a small amount of comfort in knowing
that everything happened so quickly she didn't suffer. Also, doctors
(04:12):
were able to donate some of her organs to give
others a better life. Please play a song for Peggy
and Jim, their family and their friends and those that
they touched with their love. Thank you so much from
Eric and April.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Hi roach me. What nationality are you?
Speaker 5 (04:38):
I'm Indian?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Pretty name? What can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (04:42):
I'd really like to dedicate a song to my neighbor Lisa.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
And what do you want to tell your neighbor?
Speaker 5 (04:48):
She's just such a great friend to me, Like she's
like my second mother. Actually, I'm always at her house
and we just do so much together. And I know
she really likes her show, so it's like I'm really
grateful that and share her on it and like play
songs for her.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
So is this the kind of neighbor that you you
don't have to worry about or knocking over?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Your garbage cans.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Or oh, oh definitely not. I can like depend on
anything I need. She's just always there.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
And your dog doesn't go tear up her lawn or
anything like that.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
I don't have a dog, but she does.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
I had neighbors like that growing up, and all of
the neighbors in our neighborhood, there was like three other families.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
They were all like second, a third, and fourth moms.
To me, Oh, that's so nice.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
It is. It's nice when you've got somebody that you
can be real with and maybe you can even share
some things that you're not really comfortable sharing with your
own mom.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Yeah, exactly, that's exactly how it is. It's it's really.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Nice, get a different perspective exactly. Let me play a
song for Lisa. Okay, bye bye, Hi Peter, what can
I do for you?
Speaker 8 (05:57):
I want to dedicate a song about to all those
people who have been so kind to me recently. I'm
very poor and I had a lot of troublesome a
number of neighbors. They gave me a wonderful birthday party
and some young men helped me out. And I'm trying
to think of a song that would really express that gratitude.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
So you have a lot of friends who've been very
good to you. Yeah, and you want to say thank
you for believing in me, thank you for being there
for me.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Do you have some names or you just want me
to put it out there.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
For Well, there's for Dollie, and for Don and Julie
and Eileen, just some neighbors that are so good to me.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Thank you for calling. God bless you.
Speaker 8 (06:40):
I have a nice day.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Hi, Diane, thank you for calling.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
How are you today?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I'm wonderful. What can I do for you?
Speaker 7 (06:54):
Well, I just had to write to you because I
had something really awesome happen to me. I'm in the
process of moving from one house to another and they're
right next door, so it's a lot harder to move
that way, believe it or not. And my washer and
dryer were still over the other house, and I had
shut off all the electricity because I wasn't there. I'm
actually living in this house now. And I went over
(07:16):
and I flipped on the breaker, didn't think anything about it,
walked in and turned on the dryer and didn't hear anything.
The dryer come on, and all of a sudden, the
drawer went off. Well, I figured to flip the breaker
so I walked back to the front of the house
where the breaker box attack, and amazingly enough, nothing happened,
and I heard voices outside. So I went outside, and
(07:39):
there's two men out in my front yard stopping out fires.
I had lit the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Literally, you'd caught your neighborhood on fire.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
I caught my neighborhood on fire.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
How did you've manage to do that, honey?
Speaker 7 (07:52):
Apparently, when they were trimming trees off the power lines,
they missed one, and when I flipped the breaker back on,
it arked from the power line to that tree, and
sparks went everywhere. So it literally lit the grass and
we got all the fires out. There were several burned places,
(08:14):
but nothing to write home about. I cannot thank them enough.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I will just play a song for them and for
anybody else who goes above and beyond the call of
duty to bless a neighbor. I so hope you have
enjoyed these radio moments as much as I enjoy bringing
them to you.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
