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. Hey it's Delilah.
All the stress that you are feeling right now, put
(00:23):
a basket at the door and just leave your stress
there when you come in the house. I remember an
old story I read years ago about a man who
would pull up in front of his house in his
work truck, and when he got out, he would walk
by a tree in the front yard and he looked
like he was draping something over it, like a Christmas
garland or a Christmas ornament. And one of the neighbors
(00:46):
finally stopped him and said, I see you doing this
thing every night, but I don't see anything hanging on
the tree. Says, what are you hanging up there? And
the man said, my problems. I'm hanging the problems from
work on that tree outside so that I don't carry
them into the house to my wife and my children.
(01:07):
I want to leave my work problems outside the door.
That's what this show is all about. Finding that balance
and finding that peace, and of course sharing love everywhere
you go.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Hi, good evening, Welcome to the Delilah, show Rose, what
can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Hi, Delilah, I need to say I'm sorry to my husband.
I've been mean to in the last few days and
taken a lot out on him. Back in August of
last year, I had two massive heart attacks and I
was thirty two years old and single mom three kids.
We've been together for three years and he could have
(01:49):
run and decided that he just didn't want to deal
with everything he had, and he didn't. He stayed. He's
taking care of everything, and I've just been very nice
to him the last few days of starting to get
aggravated with finances and take it out on him, And
it's not his fault. I love him to death. I
(02:11):
do and I wouldn't know what I'd do without him.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Well, let's not find out. Let's stop pushing him away
and start embracing him.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Yes, he's a good man, He's a very good man.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Don't lose your serenity over financial struggles. Trust that God's
going to provide If you are doing the best that
you can do, and your husband is doing the best
that he can do, stop worrying because all God asks
of us is to do our best and to let
him do the rest.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
You're right.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I used to have a little card on my refrigerator
that said, if you worry, why pray?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
And if you pray, why worry?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I'll play a song for you. Okay, all right, I
hope you're feeling better.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
Hi Jim, Hello.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Thank you for calling the Delilah shh. What can I
do for you?
Speaker 6 (03:01):
I'd like to send a song out to my beautiful
wife Monica and my son.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Anthony, And what do you want to tell them?
Speaker 6 (03:10):
That throughty years We've been together for nine years and
marriage for six we have a beautiful three year old son, Anthony.
And in the past few months and maybe a few years,
that I for her second to certain things in my
life when I should have been leaving her first.
Speaker 7 (03:30):
And wait, wait, wait, wait, back, back up back, certain
things in your life, like destructive things, certain things in
your life like work things, certain things in your life
like buddy things, like what kind of.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
Things a little combination of buddy things and work things,
And she should have been made first, and I didn't
leave her first, and it caused us to have problems.
We've now separated, and I, through the help of finding
myself through counseling and through turn into God for assistance.
(04:02):
I want her to know that I have now found
myself and I want to let her know, and I
hope she realizes that I was wrong and that I
want a chance to show her who I should have
been and who I am now. And I want the
world to know that I love her and Anthony very much.
I don't want to be apart from them.
Speaker 8 (04:21):
You know, I don't know any words in the English
language that are more powerful and probably harder to spit
out than I was wrong. Let me find the perfect song.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Thank you very much, good luck. I pray you've got
a forgiving nature.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
I do too, but thank you.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Helen. Hi, this is Delilah. How are you tonight?
Speaker 6 (04:53):
I'm good.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 6 (04:55):
Well?
Speaker 5 (04:56):
I wanted to play a song for my husband.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Kevin, And what do you want to tell Kevin?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
And I'm sorry we had an argument today just I
think it's just because we're both so stressed out, and
especially me, as has been a lot going on right
now and he's actually been really so helpful, and I
also just want to tell him thank you. But sometimes
when I'm stressed, I just take it out on him.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
How long have you been married?
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Not even a year?
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Actually a little like eight months.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Do you work outside of the home.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Yeah, both of us do. I'm actually trying to find
a new job. That's part of the stress.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Would you ever talk to your boss, your supervisor, your
company president the way you spoke with your husband earlier today?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Okay, no way.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
If you have enough respect for somebody who you're not
intimately involved with to not be like that, then please
have enough respect you too, for each other that you
want to spend your life together and you love each
other more than life to never do that, right. I
think it's so weird that people will put their jobs
or their bosses or whatever as a priority, take their
(06:00):
phone call, rush off to meet them, hurry up to
do assignments, and yet with their beloved, the one that
they want to spend forever with, they don't prioritize like
that exactly. So you work on that and I'll work
on a great song.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
You have a good night, honey.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
You too, Thank you?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Bye bye? Hi Ti, Hi, welcome. This is Delilah. What
can I do for you?
Speaker 9 (06:30):
Well?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Doila?
Speaker 9 (06:30):
I have a fiance that we met a year ago,
and we tried to put two families together. And we've
both done and settled a lot of things and let
outside influence come into our lives and sort of tear
us apart. And she's going through a lot of rough
time right now. And I've said and done a lot
of things that I'm very sorry for, and she's done
(06:54):
some things too. Neither one of us are angels, but
I don't think she really knows how sorry I am
and how much I love her.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
What's her name, ty, Her name's Jen.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
So you and Jen are trying to combine two families,
and you both have bad tempers.
Speaker 9 (07:09):
We both have very bad tempers, and we're both very
very stubborn.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
And your mouth gets going before your heart knows.
Speaker 9 (07:15):
Yeah, and we both say hurtful things without thinking about it.
We try to go back and fix it later, and
we never can.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Nope, you can't take those words back.
Speaker 9 (07:24):
I believe there's one true love for me in my life,
and I think she's it.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Then stop saying hurtful things.
Speaker 9 (07:30):
I know, and I want to tell her how much
I love her and how sorry I am for not
being there when I should have been.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
You know, I have learned.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
My mom used to say sis, if you can't say
something nice, don't say anything at all.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
And it's like you can't say thingthing, a gay anything
it out.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
But lately I've been applying that, and when I see
that I'm out of control and my mouth is going
to get going before my brain, I will just say
to the people that I love, I can't talk right now.
I'm not shutting you out. I'm not giving you the
silent treatment. I'm giving myself a time out.
Speaker 9 (08:02):
And we both need to live by that rule, and
neither one of us have done it lately.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
You work on that tie and I'll find a song
for you.
Speaker 9 (08:09):
I appreciate it. Deliah, you have a great night.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Bye bye. I so hope you have enjoyed these radio.
