This was yesterdays reading in my daily calendar. <br />"God numbers the hair on your head. <br /> He counts the cares in your heart. <br /> He knows you<br /> He notices you.<br /> And He loves what He sees."<br /><br />So thanks Paul. It sounds like God is saying something to me - that's twice in 2 days He's told me the same thing. He notices me. Wow! What an incredible God!<br /><br />Sounds like you have a great life and much to be thankful for. Great innings and the very best for the next 40!<br />AnushaAnusha Atukoralahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859837228901127984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-80809327003227971762012-04-27T13:03:18.250+10:002012-04-27T13:03:18.250+10:00Happy Birthday.

What a journey so far! Bring on more crises like that, I say. :)Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13622521834128746217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-6113841693812369062012-04-25T17:37:18.639+10:002012-04-25T17:37:18.639+10:00Oh to be 40 again.

I stand in awe of our Lord who takes people from every experience and handicap and releases new life, new creative ability and new directions beyond what seemed possible in growing up years. We are all glad that the Lord noticed us, dealt with those things which made us not notice Him and then joined us in our journey of discovery which will lead us to see Him face to face.<br /><br />Thanks for your post.<br />Ray.Ray Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720158812896505028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-67306061117358012312012-04-25T15:49:30.541+10:002012-04-25T15:49:30.541+10:00It seems to me that many who find fame are not hap...It seems to me that many who find fame are not happy people.

Great post.<br /><br />I have a friend who told me he cried on his fortieth, because he'd wasted so much of his life. I'm with you though, Paul. I've followed the Lord and followed my dreams, achieved more than I thought possible. No regrets. Only praise to a God who is able to take us on a journey beyond the limitations we set for ourselves. :)Amanda Deedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02430837640142332983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-55352738299391688062012-04-25T07:43:47.922+10:002012-04-25T07:43:47.922+10:00Happy birthday—and a very thought-provoking post. ...Happy birthday—and a very thought-provoking post. From my POV, you'd have to be right that the desire to be noticed is at least part of my motivation, even if I wasn't consciously aware of it until now (so thanks for pointing it out :P).<br /><br />Methinks that the desire to be noticed (and, by extension, famous) will further increase as the population expands, making us ever smaller cogs in an ever larger machine.<br /><br />And are you sure that your son is now able to play sports at your level—or is it that you are now only able to play them at his? ;)Peter McLennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446729346706052416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-56328906227435334892012-04-24T18:58:34.953+10:002012-04-24T18:58:34.953+10:00Happy 40th Birthday and great encouraging post.Happy 40th Birthday and great encouraging post.Jennifer Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09284057776201270126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-30146755691782096502012-04-24T16:53:25.476+10:002012-04-24T16:53:25.476+10:00Happy 40th birthday, Paul!
