| “And He said unto me, my grace is sufficient for thee for my strength is made perfect in weakness, most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2 Corinthians 12:9) We trust that you will find strength and encouragement from HIM who is "able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask…” Grace and Peace, Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar & Family | | Enjoying First "GrandDuggar" Mackynzie while awaiting baby 19 arrival! Our new grand-daughter Mackynzie Renée is here! She was born October 8, 2009 to our oldest son Josh and his wife Anna! We are so grateful for this new grand-addition to our family and the Aunts and Uncles are so excited for Josh & Anna! Our 19th child is due to arrive around March 18, 2010! We are enjoying this new phase of life as grandparents, while at the same time looking forward to the arrival of our next little one!
Psalm 127 says, “Lo children are a heritage of the Lord, the fruit of the womb is His reward.” We believe that each child is a special gift from God and we are thankful to Him for each one.
We have enjoyed hearing from thousands of families that have emailed us over the past several months and we regret that we have not been able to respond to everyone. We appreciate the words of encouragement and what a joy to hear from many who are seeking a relationship with Jesus Christ and yet others who desire to train up their children to follow God with their whole heart! Dr. S.M. Davis’ DVD messages have helped us raising our children, with a variety of topics on family relationships that can be a blessing to every family. Whether you are having conflicts in your marriage, dealing with a rebellious young person or just looking for solid principles to build a Godly family we encourage you to visit Dr. Davis' website. The Jim Sammons Financial Freedom Seminar has helped Michelle and I to become one minded in the direction we are headed. It has encouraged me to be the spiritual leader that I need to be. It has made us and saved us thousands of dollars by learning practical Bible principles that apply to every day life decisions. Jim Sammons is a real estate developer, the principles he shares apply to everyone of us. He shares story after story in a funny way that my whole family enjoys watching it. It costs about $109 for the textbook and 10 disc video series - one of the best investments you can make into your family and business. We enjoy watching one hour a week, for example, like on a Saturday evening as a family or with friends and then discuss it. The Bible principles will challenge you to give every area of your life to God in a new and deeper way and your family will grow closer together as each one individually seeks God. This seminar has helped us get out of debt and has given us creative business ideas to support our large family. This will pay for its self with your first financial decision. You can't afford not to watch it! We want to be quick to say, we are still learning by God’s grace & we do not consider ourselves ‘Professional Parents’. One thing we are confident of is “this very thing, that HE who has begun a good work in us will continue it until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6) We consider the Bible the 'Owner's Manual' for our lives, and in it is contained all the answers to life’s questions. We hope to update our website in the FAQ's section from time to time. A relationship with God is the most important thing in life. We recommend you listen to ‘Hell's Best Kept Secret’, this audio message from Ray Comfort will help you understand the big picture of Christianity. Also, start reading the book of John in the Bible and ask God to speak to you through it. You can be forgiven for everything you have done wrong and Jesus loves you no matter what mistakes you have made! The Bible says, "If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (I John 1:9) Tell God that you are making a choice to forgive those that have hurt you in your life and that you desire to repent, to leave the self-centered life that you have been living. Then ask Him to become the center of and take control over your life and make you a new person. He promises He will. It's FREE! People don't go to heaven because they are good, because everyone has done things wrong. We go to heaven because we have been forgiven! Jesus paid the penalty for our sin. That is what people call being 'saved'. We are saved from Hell. You still will be ashamed of the mistakes you have made, but the guilt will be gone because you are forgiven! God wants you to go back to people you have done things wrong to and ask for forgiveness for what you have done, telling them you have committed your life to Jesus and you now want to live for Him. You will still make mistakes in the future, but daily pray to God and He will lead you. Find a Church to plug into in your area that teaches the Bible (we attend a conservative Baptist Church), they can lovingly help lead you in your walk with Jesus Christ. We pray God will do a great work in your life. We also recommend the free Daily Success email that is packed full of God’s wisdom. It will encourage and challenge you in your daily walk with God.

Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar Family Proverbs 3:5-7 | | 2009, Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar Family 12/10/2009,(Michelle)生下第19個孩子。這個胎兒的預產期本來應該在明年3月18號，但蜜雪兒罹患膽結石，劇烈的疼痛導致她子宮收縮，醫生只好替她實施了緊急剖腹產手術，生下了第19個孩子：只有620公克重的女嬰(Josie Brooklyn)。 On December 10, 2009, Michelle gave birth via emergency C-section to Josie Brooklyn Duggar, who was born three months early. Michelle had been rushed to the hospital for gallstones and then doctors discovered she had Pre-eclampsia. Josie weighed 1lb, 6oz at birth, but is in stable condition. 他們21歲的大兒子(Joshua)說，他也希望像父母—樣生育許多孩子。對此，媒體進行了—項統計，如果他們接近20個兒女長大後都以和父母—樣的速度生兒育女，他們家族到第五代將擁有320萬名成員。 令這對夫婦驕傲的是，他們全是靠自己的能力來撫養這個超級大家庭，他們從來沒有接受過來自政府的任何資助。傑姆曾是阿肯色州的議員，如今他是—名房地產商，他的精明投資，讓他擁有穩定的收入以支應這個大家庭。但傑姆仍然承認，每天要餵養這麼多兒女，經常累癱了，只好偷偷流淚。

Trading Places, Duggars Style
In the Duggar home, the boys are assigned the dirty jobs including taking out the trash, working on cars, and tending to the landscaping. The girls do the cooking, the cleaning, and the rest of the household chores. Each member of this mega- family has their own chores, or jurisdictions (as the Duggars call them). But what if the genders were to switch? In this episode, find out what happens when the boys and girls switch jurisdictions for a day.

You'll have a new understanding of the word thrifty after watching this episode!
