Scripture Reflection
In Psalms 34:17-18, we read, 'When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.' May these words be a source of comfort and hope to Kathie Lee Gifford and to all who are struggling with health issues or other challenges.
