Skippy rolled over in bed to see the clock. He could tell it was six in the morning. He did feel happy today.

He jumped out of bed and ran to the kitchen to see what was for breakfast. I hope pancakes, he thought.

It was Good Friday. He did remember he heard his parents talk about it before. He thought it must be a great day because how many days have Good for a first name?

He also knew this was the day Jesus died to save us all. He learned that at church. He liked church!

On this day many years ago, Jesus died so we could live. It is his gift to people. That is great!

That’s some gift!

Thank you, Jesus!
