Pie Is Good Medicine

Like chicken noodle soup for the body…Humble Pie is good medicine for the soul. 

The first bite is hard to swallow but the more I eat the less distasteful it becomes.

Humble Pie:

3 cups of conceit

2 tablespoons of smugness

1¾ tablespoons of self-importance

1 pint of pride

2½ oz of arrogance 

Mix thoroughly,

Bake until ready

Cut into large portions

Serve with generous helping of sincerity

And

Swallow hard.

  

Humble pie is no pie in the sky

‘Tis better than a stick in the eye

Not to mention a nail through the hand

For that I’m sure I could not stand

As I swallow hard…I thank the Lord

For all the dressing and the blessing

And all the meals and the good deals

That feed my needs…and even exceeds

Amen.
