Easy as Pie
From October through December, gaining weight becomes as easy as pie (very easy). We no longer want small summer meals Instead, we desire comfort food … and plenty of it.
Farmers have picked the last of their fruit and vegetables. We find them for sale everywhere. Let the eating begin!
Making pie is not easy.
Of course, many cooks buy pie crusts already made. Some also buy pie mixes. Making those pies is easy. However, making a whole pie takes work … and plenty of it.
Eating pie is easy.
Pumpkin pie is a fall favorite, especially for Thanksgiving. I prefer chocolate, lemon, or pecan.
Easy as pie applies to more than pies.
Anything that requires little work is easy as pie.
However, something easy for you may be hard for me.
- You may be a great painter. Not me.
- You may understand physics. Not me.
- You may be able to fly a plane. Not me.
If I study painting, physics, and flying planes, I will improve. They may never be as easy as pie, but, if I tackle them, they will get easier.
Perhaps this fall and winter we should try to gain more knowledge instead of weight. Physics or pie? Which sounds better to you?
“ Salvation that comes from trusting Christ—which is what we preach—is already within easy reach of each of us; in fact, it is as near as our own hearts and mouths” (Romans 10:8 TLB).
