This is good advice for any of you who may be struggling
in their relationships. I have made the errors Bob Gass
mentions, so I ought to know!

There are some excellent scriptures in this lesson, including
one of my favorites from Matthew 22. I pray this Word for
Today is encouraging for those in need today.
