"Jude and the Extraordinary, Spectacular, Miraculous Day" is a creative retelling of the Feeding of the 5,000. The story begins when Jude wakes up for the day and has no idea that today will turn out to be an extraordinary, spectacular, miraculous day. Jude heads into the kitchen where his mother is making breakfast. Jude's father is a fisherman. Every morning Jude takes five small barley loaves and two salty fish to his father. As Jude reaches a hilltop he realizes something is different. A huge crowd has gathered by the sea. As he gets closer, he sees Jesus preaching to the crowd. Jesus knew the crowd was hungry as they had been gathered for awhile. Suddenly a voice called out, "Is anyone willing to share some food?" Jude lifted his small lunch into the air. Jesus took the food and blessed it. After praying a miracle occurred when the food multiplied and fed the whole crowd. The day ended up being a miraculous meal on an extraordinary day.
