“From the fruit of his mouth a man’s stomach is filled;
with the harvest of his lips he is satisfied.”

Now I know I see Jesus whenever I read the book of Proverbs to my kids, but tonight I was preempted by my daughter. Each night I give my kids the chance to explain the proverb to me before I try, most times Betsy and I have to explain definitions of terms etc. Tonight, however, my daughter dropped this on me that changed/fulfilled the meaning and our direction for the night:

“His” is referring to God.

We then talked about John chapter 1- the Word became flesh and lived among us. Which then lead us to talk about the reason for this next season, Jesus’ birth, and that in the garden of our hearts, souls, and minds, a new tree is growing… A Christmas tree! And this proverb, with my daughter’s saintly explanation, was its first ornament!
