Square #127 from SLC, UT

This wish is from my best friend's (Natalia's) mom, Maria. She said she chose this fabric because Sarah is so sweet and lovable.

Her wish has the Footprints Poem:

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed a scene of his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of hhis life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of foot prints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest time of his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you say that once I decide tofollow you, you would walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most, you would leave me."The Lord replied, "My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

Love, Maria

Squares #123 & 124 from Portland, OR

This wish says:

This wish says:

"A family is special and each one is different.

And some sister and brothers

may not look like their fathers and nothers.

But that doesn't matter, what does matter

is this: Families are forever. It's as simple as that!"

"Families are Forever" by Craig Shemin

This wish says:

"We're the same. We're different.

That is what makes the world such fun.

Many kinds of people, not just one!

A rainbow would be boring

If it were only green or blue.

What makes a rainbow beautiful

Is that it has every hue.

So aren't you glad you look like you?"

"We're Different. We're the Same and We're all Wonderful"

Square #122 from Millsap, TX

This is from another adoptive family from the OHGWQ yahoo group. They are waiting for either a boy or a girl, they won't know until they get their referral...how exciting! I totally believe what this wish says...it really hit home with me.

The wish says:

We witness a miracle every time a child enteres into life.

But those who make their journey home across time & miles,

growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them,

are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us

by God's very own hands.

-Kristi Larson

Square #121 from Ontario, Canada

This square came from another waiting adoptive Mom from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada!

The wish says:

The World is a Rainbow

That's filled with many colours

Yellow, black and white, and brown

You see them all aournd

The world is a rainbow

With many kinds of people

It takes all kinds of people

To make the world go round

Not you be you

And I'll be me

That's the way we were meant to be

But the world is a mixing cup

Just look what happens when you stir it up

The world is a rainbow

with many kinds of people

and when we work together

It's such a sight to see

The world is beautiful when we live in harmony

Sarah,

I hope that your world always has

a rainbow shining bright above you!
