In the Secret Place Mary Bruder

Shadow is a kind and friendly little groundhog. He loves to wake up early so he can visit his secret place before the day begins. Today, Shadow pops out of his hole and heads toward his secret destination. On the way he visits a short while with Mrs. Robin. He's careful of the delicate flowers, basking in their beautiful aroma as he rounds the pond. It's at about this time that Shadow gets to thinking.

As he makes his way to his secret place, Shadow recalls a very important verse from the Bible. It is Psalm 91, and it says, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty."

What does it mean to abide in the shadow of the Almighty? Shadow works hard to unravel the mystery of this verse all the way to his destination, and eventually finds something even more special than his secret place. What could it be?
