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.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, I'm glad you're here
with us. The world is filled with negative voices, the
people that want to pull you down, steal your joy,
beat you up, make you feel bad. I'm not here
to do any of that. No, I am here to
remind you that you are fearfully and wonderfully made, and
(00:42):
that there is a plan for your life. You can
live a life of despair and despondency and feeling like
a victim, or you can lead a purpose driven life
knowing that you are here for a purpose.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Good evening. You've called the Delilah Show.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Who is this Delilah? This is John?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Hi John? What can I do for you tonight?
Speaker 4 (01:08):
I re gonna call you Delilah. I've been listening to
you for many years. I in fact my first trip
down south on a bus. You were there.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I was there keeping your company. How long ago was that?
Speaker 4 (01:19):
That was back in nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Wow, yep, we've been together a long time, my friend.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
We have we have some of stuff that I've been
through Delilah. I've back in two thousand and nine. I
always believe that God won't give you more than you
can handle. I had my sister who passed away in
April of two thousand and nine, my son passed away
in June of two thousand and nine, my former sister
law four days after him. And then also I was
(01:48):
diagnosed with prostate cancer. So going through this in life
from that point on, I believe that being positive and
not beaten can get you through anything.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Wow and all that hit in one year, Yes, thank
God you made it through.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Absolutely. I always I try to share my story delightly
because I believe in being positive and up being going forward,
that you can get through anything.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I don't know that I would be able to get
through that, but I pray I never have to find out.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
I hear you, I hear you. I'm doing fine. I
just retired after forty three years at my company.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
And now, what are you going to do now that
you're in retirement.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Well, I'm going to make time to go travel and
visit my family more, the more of them. I have
a large family, so it's not everybody takes the time
to see each other and they should.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
It sounds like it's time to get a motor home.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Yes, absolutely, well.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Let me play a song for you. I'm glad you
made it through, not just through on the phone lines,
I'm glad you made it through all the storms of life,
my friend.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Well, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I pray you have safe travels and so much fun
connecting with family.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Thank you. I really appreciate that.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Marilyn.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
This is deliinah High. How are you this evening?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Oh, I'm just wonderful. I'm absolutely elated through But anyway,
I have had been married for twenty five years, but
been with the same guy for about twenty eight and
just recently divorced. Through that, I have learned that there
are so many good things in life that you don't
have to dwell in the past or dwell in the
(03:32):
what should have or could have been. And one of
those things is is this little one that I take
care of five days a week or five nights a week.
And that's where I'm lucky enough to listen to the
spiritual and emotional and wonderful love that you spew out
to everybody that's listening. You are just such an inspiration.
(03:55):
I don't know how to thank you for putting all
this time out and being such a love.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Well, trust me, Marilyn, I'm not that great, but I
appreciate the kind of work come across that. I may
come across that way, but I'm just as human as
anybody you've ever met, and I make just as many
mistakes and do just as many jerky things, and you know,
lose my temper with the kids.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I know you're very human, but you're one of those
special few that are really a true, good, loving human.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
God has given me much and blessed me much and
forgiven me much, and I am so grateful for that
that I try to pass it on.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I got a letter from Alison who was listening to
my show the other night, and she says, Delilah, I've
been having a very hard time lately. Nothing too serious,
but I haven't been able to be myself. I'm very nice,
I'm sweet, I'm positive, but since I returned to school,
I've been awkward, mean spirited and negative.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
It's just not me.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
And I even cringe as I hear the words coming
out of my own mouth. I think I needed something
to knock some sense into me. I was driving late
yesterday and I turn on the radio and I heard
your words about negative people and how it just brings
other people down. I knew that was meant for me.
(05:30):
I knew that God intended for me to hear you
talking about that. And now I know I need to change.
I need to get myself back to the nice person
that I know that I am. It won't be easy,
but at least I know that I'm driving in the
right direction. Please say a prayer for me and the
difficult circumstances that test me every day. I want to
(05:52):
find the strength to stay positive. Thank you from Alison.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Welcome.
Speaker 7 (06:04):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Who is this?
Speaker 7 (06:06):
Hi? This is Patty.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Patty. What can I do for you tonight?
Speaker 7 (06:09):
Eilila, I've been trying for two months to get through
to you. My father died, and eight months later, my
brother died and my best friend kind of took over
for my dad and my brother. So that's what's on
my heart tonight.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
So you have had a whole lot of loss in
a very short time.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
Yeah, you know, and I related to this girl the
other night that was talking to you. I also gave
up my daughter for adoption and she's now in college.
But what I did. Is I set up with the
people that adopted her to get pictures of her every
six months so I could watch her grow up.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Are you in contact with the family now?
Speaker 7 (06:46):
With the family, But she hasn't chosen to contact me yet.
She's in college and she just has a real full life,
and she got a scholarship. She's very happy. And they
adopted another little girl after her, so she has a
little sister her and she'll be twenty two June twenty
second of this year. But I mean my heart full
from that. I mean I got to watch her grow up.
(07:08):
I got to name her, that kept her name. I
gave her her name. They were both in the birthing
room with me, the man and the woman when I
gave birth to her. It was just I set it
up myself the way I thought that I could do it,
after a lot of prayer and a lot of you know,
thought of how emotionally I could handle it. And it
wasn't easy.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
Yeah, Well, when you make that big of a sacrifice
of love, and I truly believe I have never met
a single birth mom in all the years I've been
involved in the adoption field, I have never once of
all the hundreds of birth moms. I met met a
birth mom who said, I just didn't want the kid. Yeah,
that's not why people choose adoption. That's not why birth
(07:49):
moms and birth dads make that sacrifice.
Speaker 7 (07:52):
And it just went full circle and it was the
right decision.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
You know what it sounds like, Patty, It sounds like
you're one of those people that always looks at your
glass as how full. Hey, no matter what comes along,
no matter how life beats you up and knocks you down,
you pick yourself up, you dust yourself off, and you
find the joy and the good and the ability to
bless others.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
Well, thank you, bye bye, bye bye.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I so hope you have enjoyed these radio moments as
much as I enjoy bringing them to you.
