Above is a link to a video of the Netherland horse rescue. In 2006 there was a huge storm which flooded the horses pastures. They managed to get to high ground and were surrounded by water on a tiny peice of land. There was hardly any room to move or sleep and no food. Rescuers tried to help them off but couldnt till the third day when a group of women rode out on horses and showed them a safe path to dry land. Many workers had made a path through the water, clearing out wood, fences, barbed wire and debri that would endager the horses. I was very touched by this story because to me it is a analogy of the gospel and the important roll that women play. The path has been made clear by Heavenly Father through the prophet and the scriptures and it is up to us to follow it. Women were the ones to show the horses the safe path. It is like the role of women as mothers to teach and rear our children to show them the clear path. To me the horses following the women are like her postarity and all those they come in contact with. As women we have a divine task to accomplish and this was a wonderful example of how we can really effect the world if we have faith, keep the commandments and set an example to all the world. Please take the time to watch the video. It is very touching.

Here are a few articles that are my favorite about mothers and women:
