    The Watchtower—1986 | November 1

    • Proverbs 27:19 states: “As in water face corresponds with face, so the heart of a man with that of a man.”a Just as you see your facial reflection in a pool of still water, so by heart communication with your parents you may see that their emotions and motivations are not so different from your own. This interchange creates mutual understanding and caring, which are essential for a warm family.
