You know, some of the comments here are simply despicable. I would expect comments like this on a liberal site but on a conservative site? SMH
Heehee - sorry, I am just now reading this thread, but that is dang funny! What an evil cutie!
Has anyone heard an update as to how the baby is doing?
Nope don’t watch the Huckster.
While creating new life through childbirth is indeed a thing to be celebrated, I sympathize with those who think it can be taken too far.
I think most people have a natural aversion to perceived excess, even of a good thing.
I distinctly remember the thread for baby # 18. Someone made that very same remark. Didn’t go over well. :-o
Congrats but I hope those kids get enough attention from their parents.
Thank goodness for reality shows (<...!) I’m sure they could use the money.
It was a very touching story and, while I don't presume to speak for the Duggars at all, it very well might explain why they don't practice any form of planning other than God's will. Who are we to judge?
You talk as if you can actually add 1 minute to your life. God is the Sovereign One and it is He who has raised up the Duggar’s to be who they are for such a time as this. Each life given and born is a gift from Him. The Duggar’s joyfully receive this truth as do many of us. By God’s grace the Duggar’s will continue to grow as God determines.
Prayers for this precious little one Josie and her family.
You speak like someone who thinks they have more control than you really do. Trusting God is harder than trusting yourself but it is more of a faith builder.
Psalm 127
1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
Prayers up for Baby Josie, her mom, dad, and the whole family.
God bless this couple for remaining open to life, and for rejoicing in every life He sends to them!
My daughter had six C-sections, all resulting in normal, healthy children.
I love the Duggers, I love their show and I pray for them. But I also LAUGHED OUT LOUD several times in this thread. I thank those who posted jokes...NO need for them to apologize.
If you don't think it's funny.....
1.Don't laugh
2.Read on!
Actually, this family existed very well financially. They are both real estate agents. Of coarse, Mom now stays home and home schools. The Duggars own commercial properties which they rent out. They have no car payments, no house payments and no credit cards.
Here are their family rules:http://www.duggarfamily.com/houseguidelines.html
Not judging, just observing that the pace of her pregnancies might be taking it’s toll. Her last several pregnancies were by c section and the uterus can take being cut open only so many times. Nutrients are depleted, the uterus needs time to heal and rebuild before being used again.
There is nothing wrong in God’s eyes to practice NFP and abstain for several days per month. We are human beings and we have self control. We bash single mothers and fathers and married people who have more kids than they can care for but we celebrate these people just because they’re not on welfare. But they are all doing the same thing—leaving the results of their sexuality to God’s will. Yes it is God’s will even if a baby is born to a crack whore!!
It would normally be their business and no one else’s but they have not remained private. They put their lives on television for the world to see. Therefore we can make observations about them.
lol...
Lighten up. A clown car is a marvel of physics and space utilization. I see it as a compliment.
The doctor told her after #18 not to have any more—and her husband was in the room. You’re right—her body deserves a rest. I didn’t know that she had gallbladder problems. This premature arrival is not good news but this would potentially be the first with any problems.
