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. De Hey, it's Delilah.
Of all the earthly treasures we could store up if
(00:24):
we had a din like a Laddin's din where the
Genie's bottle was kept and it's filled to the roof
with gold, all of those material treasures are not as precious,
as valuable as your life, as your heart, as your soul.
(00:47):
Your worth cannot be diminished, cannot be tarnished, cannot be
made less than, cannot be subtracted from. You are precious.
I want you to know that you are precious, valuable,
and valued. What can I do for you?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Robin, Hi, Delilah. I was just I'm wanting to play
a song for me because I'm going through a really
tough time right now. It started out I was I
hear you talking a lot about children and being adopted
and everything. And I was adopted when I was eleven
years old, and I knew my parents up until I
was like six years old, and I was with them,
(01:31):
and when I was adopted, it took several years. I
was very unstable, emotionally and everything. But I got that
pretty much under control. And a couple of years ago,
I found my birth father and I talked to him
a few times on the telephone and everything, and we
had a pretty good, you know, open relationship over the phone. Well,
it came time to where I just asked him straight up,
(01:54):
you know, when can I see you. I want to
talk to you when I get to know you a
little bit better, because I was always this little girl
when I was little, And I got pretty much smacked
in a face. He told me, no, he didn't want
to see me. He didn't want to have anything to
do with me, and he stuck a communications. And I
want to talk to him and find out why. You know,
he's got such hard feelings towards me, But it scares
(02:16):
me to really ask him. And it's just hurting because
I want my father and me.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Robin, what you want is you want your father to
be a good guy, and you want him to come
up with some answer that'll make sense as to why
he's abandoned you as a child and now as an adult. Yes,
but that's not going to happen, honey. I know.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
It just hurts because I'm pretty much tired of rejection.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Well, I mean, he hasn't changed, and the fact that
you are desperately in need of love and validation and
nurturing is not going to change him. Honey, I know,
I just I think it's no. You don't listen. You
don't know. You are thinking that you did something wrong
that caused him to be this way. Exactly, you did
(03:04):
nothing wrong. How old were you six? Sick when he
left the picture? You did nothing wrong, sweetheart. He has
got a heart that doesn't function properly. He's not capable
of loving in a healthy way. It's not your fault.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I've never looked at it that way, but that's a
good point, and thank you for sharing that with me.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Well, hopefully God will do a work in his heart
and change his heart and he will become the kind
of person that he needs to be. But if that
doesn't happen, that's no reflection of your value or your worth. Hi, Steve,
you've called the Delilah Show. What can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I listen to you every night for I go to bed,
and You've always been real comforting and real sweet and
kind to listen to and for about the pay us
two years I've been going to a real hard time.
Me and my wife got divorced. I mean, we're still
on good terms, but it was hard on me and
on my two kids, and they stayed with me at
(04:07):
the house, but it just seemed like from that point
on things had just gone downhill. In the past year
and a half two years, I've had so many things
go wrong. My daughter got sick with asthma, and I
run into financial trouble, and right now the only thing
that's keeping me going is my two kids, who I
(04:28):
love dearly. It's been a real, real rough ride over
the past couple of years.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
That which does not kill us, makes us stronger.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I know, I know.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Did you ever play sports when you were in school?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Not really now, football.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Basketball, baseball, and I played baseball for a little bit. Okay, well,
when you were playing baseball and you were going to practices,
did the coach say, why don't you sit down, It'll
be a lot more fun if you just sit down
and take it easy and hang out today. Or did
he make you run and make you hit and make
you pitch until your arms are and your back hurt,
And that's.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Pretty much it kind of ran us to make us
experience the I guess you've got the pain of success
or something.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
No, he ran you, and he made you swing the
ball or swing the bat and throw the ball and
exercise your arms to build your muscles, to build your endurance,
to make you stronger, faster, better, and in the same way,
tough times make us stronger, smarter, kinder, more compassionate.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
You hang in there. Things are going to get better.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Hi. Welcome to the Delilah Show. Who's this?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
My name is Bmily. I'm a switch to you old woman,
and I've been allowing since two thousand and four, and
I just want an uplifting song just to make me
feel good tonight.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
You know, do you know, honey, you're never alone?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Well, I just.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Feel that way sometimes because I just don't have a
significant other. I don't have my love to share to
anybody except my children, and they're not around a whole
lot because they're grown. And I want to give my
love to someone, but I just can't find that one
person that makes me feel good.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Maybe that's because God wants you to give your love
to a whole lot of people in a different way.
See a lot of times we think if we don't
have a significant other, if we don't have a sweetheart,
if we don't have a partner, that we're alone.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
That's the way I feel sometimes.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I know it is, but I'm saying maybe the reason
that God hasn't brought them the right person into your
life is because right now He wants you to share
your gifts and your talents and your skills with a
lot of people, or with a child, or with a group,
or with changing the world. And he knows that that
(07:17):
right person came along, all you'd want to do is
snuggle up with him and be content.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Well, I've been looking into that, and try that and
see if that helps.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I really can, because you sound to me like you've
got a mother's heart with my children.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I never thought about that. Thank you for enlightening me.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I bet if you would pursue that, I wouldn't be surprised,
giving your generous heart, if you didn't meet a very
generous person doing that.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Thank you, resting my eyes all right.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
You have a good night.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Hey, Ray, what can I do for you tonight?
Speaker 5 (08:06):
What I was calling about was driving home, I heard
a young lady who said she'd flit from her boyfriend,
and that she had seen him after a month and
so forth, and that it was kind of a distasteful
experience that he had made fun or humiliated her in
front of her friends. And I think she needs to
(08:27):
know that that's the first step called a beast, and
perhaps she needs to look into it and find out
more about it and maybe be a little cautious. I
was fortunate that I had someone that exercised tough love,
and we just barely talk now, but all those cliches
come in. I'm sorry for this, and I'm sorry for that.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
So you were the one that was humiliating others.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Yes, I would take out my wrath of something happened
at work or any bad, tasteful thing. I would come on,
glued and saying and so forth.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
How old are you?
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Ray old enough?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
No better?
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Wise enough not to say?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Well, the fact that you're willing to call me and confess,
you know, to me and maybe two or three people listening,
that you were abusive and that you don't want to
be that way, and point out to other people if
somebody is humiliating you, verbally putting you down, attacking you,
saying and kind things that's abuse.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
It is.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
It is try to find ways to hurt somebody because
you've been hurt. Not that that's an excuse or anything
else like that, but basically that's the reason for it.
You're embarrassed, or you're intimidated, or you have a lack
of self confidence yourself, and so consequently you kind of
take it on somebody else. And those who are codependent
so to speak, will tolerate it.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yes, yes we will.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
And so I just want to tell a young lady
to be careful and and seek some counseling from somebody.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I will pass that along. God bless you. I so
hope you have enjoyed these radio moments as much as
I enjoy bringing them to you. I'll share more with
you each weekday on Hey It's Delilah. Del
