Gratitude Is A Daily Practice · Have A Little Faith with Delilah

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Hello there, Welcome, Welcome, my friend. To have a little
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: faith with Delilah. Here's the thing about faith. If you
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: have a little faith, just enough to say, God, I believe,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I believe you're there. But I need more faith, I
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: need more wisdom, I need more understanding, I need more
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: of you. If you have enough faith to pray that
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: simple prayer, miracles can happen. Anyone who's ever listened to
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: this show, my radio show, or these podcasts knows how
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: much I shout about the power of gratitude. When you
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: have an attitude of gratitude, and when you add to
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: that kindness, everything changes. And I will shout that truth
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: from the rooftop. When you can start look looking at
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: life through gratitude glasses, everything will change. No matter where
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I find myself in life, I know that if I
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: can accept and love where I am, not where I
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: think I should be, certainly not where other people think
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I should be, then gratitude flows. Real gratitude is a
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: way of seeing the world and a mindset that turns
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: whatever we have into enough. And if you're going through
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: tough times, remembering that these are lessons, think of it
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: as an advanced college course. When you're going through struggles,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and ask yourself, what is God trying to teach me
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: right now? And how can I be grateful for this lesson?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: When I focus on gratitude, even the simplest moments feel
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: rich layered with goodness. Could be as random as the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: morning of sunlight. I took a video of the sunrise
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: through the fog this morning because it was so stink
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and beautiful. A cup of tea, which I'm enjoying right
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: now in this studio, a kind word from a friend.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: It's not the big events of the big vacation. It's
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: recognizing what we already have. It's cherishing every single moment
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: of the day. It's a practice. The more you practice gratitude,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the happier you will become. In today's show, I have
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: several conversations with wonderful people. But boy, this next call,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: this first call, just grew my heart.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: HI know I will.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: My name's Evany, Oh my God, I thank you for years.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Ebany. What can I do for you tonight?
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm excited to talk to you, but my heart's
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: been pretty heavy for the past eight months. I've lost
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: my father back in September.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: How old was Dad?
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Dad was sixty four, just short and sixty five.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Ooh, that's not good. What happened?
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: He was struggling with kidney disease and good body was
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: just not holding on so well.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: He was tired and wanting to go be with God.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Yes he was, Yes he was. It was me and
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: his grandson that kept him here.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Now you've got somebody sitting with the Almighty bragging on
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: you day and night, night and day, watching over your grandson,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: saying look, look, Jesus, look, look, and Jesus is I
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: made her? Remember I made her, I made I made
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the grand baby too, And your dad saying yep, but
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: look look look how beautiful she is. Look at what
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: a great job she's doing. Look at my grandson.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Oh yes, his only grandson is pride and joy.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And now you got somebody advocating for you right next
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to the father.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Yes I do, Yes, I do. Praise God for that.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I miss him very.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Much, though I know you do. But he must have
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: poured a whole lot of love and goodness and wisdom
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: into you for you to be such a good person.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: He sure did.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: He's the reason why my heart is so big and
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: the reason why I do believe in God, and I
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: keep pushing forward every day, even though it's hard. I
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: know that he would want me to keep going.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Indeed, You're gonna be okay, honey. And remember he's just
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: a breath away. He's just a breath away. Just pray,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: say Lord, please tell my dad I miss him. Please
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: God tell him how much it means to me. And
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: God will. God will send you you signs every day
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: to remind you how much your Daddy loves you.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: He will thank you so much for that.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I'm going to share something with you. A guy named
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Rory Feak shared with me when I lost my son.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: He said, your boys, because I lost two boys in
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: a couple of years. He said, your boys, Delilah, are
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: much more a part of your future than they are
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: a part of your past now. And I said, how
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: can you? How dare you say that? How can you
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: even say that? I don't have a future with them.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I don't get to see them grow, I don't get
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to see them fall in love and get married. I
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: don't get to share any of that. He goes, you
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: only had eighteen years with them in the past. You're
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: going to have eternity with them in the future. You
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: just gotta be patient, Yes, ma'am, try to be so
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: as hard as it's going to be to be patient.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: You've got a much brighter future with your father than
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you even had a wonderful past. Yes, I do, because
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: eternity is forever.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: You are absolutely for sure.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: God bless you, Annie, God bless you.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Delilah.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Hi, good evening, Welcome to the Delilah Show. Who is this?
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: Oh my god? It's Wesley. How are you?
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you?
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: I'm okay, Delilah?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: What can I do to take you from okay to wow?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I'm awesome.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: I'm already getting that on the way. I have on
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: one hundred and eight day sober Todays.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't need me to take you to awesome.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: You are well on your way.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Going to meetings? Have you got a sponsor? What step
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: are you on? How can I encourage you?
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: And I'm going to do you have a sponsor? But
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: I've been going for two years really trying to get
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: my life back.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: That is amazing. And was this your choice? Was this
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: something that was visited upon you or did you say
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I'm ready, I'm done.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: It was my choice. It was my choice.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Good because when it's somebody else's idea, it never really
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: works out very well.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: No, no nos, And I'm stubborn.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: No. I find that hard to.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: Believe, right, I know, very crazy.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Crazy crazy that somebody that battles addictions like I do
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: might be a teeny tiny bit stubborn, hard headed, obstinate, prideful.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Did I miss any?
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: I had a horrible illness five years ago? Did I
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: recover it? And then I fell in love for the
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: first time in my life? And I lost him four
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: years ago, and I just didn't think I needed to
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: deserve to live.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: So you're saying you numbed the pain with alcohol.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Oh not alcohol.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: I wish I drode alcohols. It was worse, But I
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: just wanted to know if maybe you could play something
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: for my Betty. The end of Diego, he's not here anymore,
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: but I know he's listening. Then he's always with a
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: meal and you love me, Dela, and I loved him,
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: and it's I'm grateful for that now because it's real.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: It was real, but it was greainful.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: I meant fed him the most I met holding his hand.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: So it was four years ago that he.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: Passed, yeah, overdose.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: And were you using at the time or was this
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: lifestyle new to you?
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: And I was, but not as not the way he was.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: But soon after he died, I started using them, not
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: the same way, but very dangerously. And I suffered a lot,
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: but I'm not suffering anymore.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Well you are because your heart is broken, but you're
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: making better choices.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: And I was broken. Don't want to admit that I
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: was broken, but it was the Japanese art. And when
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: something is broken, like pottery, they put it together with
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: gold and my Cakemander showed me that to show me
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: that when you're broken, you look back. You walked your
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: food he used to be, and so me told me
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: reasoning that your grief didn't get smaller, but you get bigger.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Can I say a prayer for you? Of course, Father God,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I thank you Lord for allowing this precious, precious person
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: to get through on the phone lines. Tonight, I pray
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: God that you would be with him. As he walks
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: the steps, one day at a time, as he walks
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: this new path, as he walks towards health, as he
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: walks towards wholeness, Lord, Father, I pray you would heal
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: his heart. I could hear such deep grief and sorrow
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and longing. I pray God that you would be there
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and walk him through this, and that you would let
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: him know that you're never going to leave him nor
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: forsake him.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Father.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I pray that with each step, with each day, with
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: each new day of choosing you, choosing health, choosing the program,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: choosing life, God, with each day he would feel stronger, healed,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: more capable of handling all that life throws him. I
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: pray God you would give him peace, the peace that
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: surpasses all understanding, especially in the loss of his true love.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I pray God you would wrap him in blankets of peace.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I pray God, when he closes his eyes, that he
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: would feel your presence. Amen.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: Thank you so much.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I am so sorry for your loss. I am sorry
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: for your loss, and I am celebrating with you in
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: your sobriety.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I know there's going to be days that are going
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to be tough, and you're going to feel like giving up,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and then you're going to go. If I would just
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: hang in there, I would see the blessings that will flow.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Thank you God, bless you, Han, Do you ever feel
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: like it's never going to be your turn? Do you
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: ever look around or go to your cousin's wedding or
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: your best friend's wedding, or to a dance or an
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: event or an anniversary celebration, and you see people that
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: have found one another, and they honor each other, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: they respect each other, and they look at each other
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: with so much love in their eyes. And you wonder,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: what's wrong with me? What's wrong with me that somebody
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: doesn't love me like that? And you think that you
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: have some fatal flaw that makes you unlovable, it's not.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: You could be that you've got such good standards that
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: you are not willing to put yourself in harm's way
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: or to compromise your values just to be in a
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: relationship or to stay in a relationship. In just a moment,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I'm going to talk with a young lady who feels
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: so lonely and so heartbroken because she has tried at
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: love and at relationships a couple of times now, and
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: in both cases it did not turn out the way
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: she had hoped, and she's beating herself up and feeling
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: like she's doomed to be alone. I'm going to talk
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: with her next and share my insights, my perspective as
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: somebody who's been there, done that over and over and over,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: and finally God opened my eyes and I was able
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: to see the truth. Hopefully it will not take her
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: nearly as long as it did me. I'm going to
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: talk with this young woman who is lonely and looking
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: for love. Next. You've called Delilah. Who's this?
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Hi? My name is Trita.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Hiy Tricia. How are you tonight?
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: I'm good? How are you, y'all?
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I could not be better? What can I do for you?
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: I just neede a song of encouragement? I guess Actually
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: today is my birthday and it's just been a little
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: rough because I haven't been able to see my family lately,
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: and I've been dealing with depression. So I would just
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: like something for encouragement.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I am so sorry to hear that. And what seems
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: to be the root of your depression? Is it loneliness?
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: Is it?
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Are you prone to depression?
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Is that a mental health issue you struggle with all
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the time or has this been triggered by something?
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: I think it's just been triggered by something because I
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: was actually recently engaged and we called that off, and
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: then I started seeing someone new, and you know, it's
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: kind of led me on and then in the end
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: just kind of really hurt me. I've just been struggling
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: with a lot of that lately.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: You know, you just said in about thirty seconds, enough
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: heartache condensed to put half a dozen people under with
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: sadness and loneliness. Right, Yeah, So you were engaged for
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: how long?
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: We were engaged?
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: A year?
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: And I called it off a couple months ago.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: So your choice, it wasn't good for you, wasn't healthy
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: for you.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: It wasn't a healthy relationship at all. I wasn't happy,
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: So good for you.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Really good for you for saying no before you made
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: that choice and then went what have I done?
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I try to look at it that way, and
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, it hasn't been easy dealing with it because
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: he doesn't take it as being very fair. But when
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: you're in a verbally abusive relationship, I tried to remove
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: myself from that situation.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you missed the relationship or missed what you
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: thought you could have had, But do you know how
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: good and healthy and mature that was of you to
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: say this is red flags and I'm not going any
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: further down this path. Yet me I saw flags that
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: said bridge out ahead, danger, you will crash to the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: river below, do not go any further, and I just
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: went Ladi dai dai da. I can fix this.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: I tried. I just I wasn't getting the same in
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: the turns.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Honey, you're doing awesome if you're supporting yourself and you're
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: on your own, and you got into a relationship and
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: gave your heart and then recognized that it was not
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: emotionally healthy. Then you tried dating again and realize no,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I deserve dignity and respect and a commitment. I'm not
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: a player. You're doing awesome.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: If I had one hundredth of that wisdom when I
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: was your age, I would have avoided two divorces. You
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: think I'm kidding, I'm not.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: I believe you.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I'm proud of you.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I don't even know you, and I'm proud of you.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: Sometimes it just takes a little, well little encouragement or
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: reminder to know what I'm actually doing is right.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: You need to step back and say, Okay, if this
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: were my best friend, if this were a sister telling
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: me this, and she had made these healthy choices for herself,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: what would you say?
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: I would be very proud of her and support her
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: one hundred percent.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: There you go, yeah, yeah, Because in both those scenarios
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: you made wise, godly choices.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Well, thank you.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: And I didn't have that kind of wisdom at your age.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I was a fool at your age.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Well sometimes I feel like a fool for falling for them, But.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: No, no, you would have been. It's never foolish to love.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: It is never ever foolish to love. But when you
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: saw the dangers and you saw that neither situation was
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: what God intended for you, you had the wisdom to
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: put the brakes on and walk away. And as painful
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: as that is, trust me, honey, in a few years
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: you are going to be so glad you did that.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: In a few years, or maybe even a few months,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: however long it takes for God to heal your heart,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: you will meet somebody that will honor you and will
• 17:30
