Happy Birthday, Michelle!

Bring out the candles and balloons--it's time to celebrate the godly matriarch of the Duggar family.

Happy Birthday, Michelle!

If you had a minute with Michelle, what would you tell her?

  1. Thank you for showing some of us what motherhood can be, who otherwise may never would have known. Only eternity will tell what a blessing you have been!

  3. Happy Birthday Michelle! I think you are such an amazing woman. I have 5 children, and people sometimes look at me like, what is wrong with you! People shouldn't judge. You have a beautiful family, great faith, and a happy marriage. You are so blessed! And so are your children!!

  4. I would thank her for being such an inspiration to all of us! She has made such a difference in my life, by showing how to be centered on God and by not just preaching godly virtues, but living them everyday! You are so filled with the Spirit!

  6. I would probably be so excited to meet her personally that I would be tongue-tied! But, I would, if I ever had the chance, is to tell her that I admire her so much and I am grateful for her and her family and how they're not afraid to proclaim the Gospel of Christ to others! Thank you Michelle!!!! HAPPY 45TH BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

  7. Dear Michelle,
    Happy birthday to you!
    My name is Jennifer Williams and I watch your show all the time, I even have it ear marked on my tv so I never miss a show!
    I live in a small town called Cradley Heath in the Westmidlands England.I'm 29 next month and I live alone although I have a long distance relationship with my boyfriend Jason who I've been with for 5 years.
    Recently I was told I could not conceive naturally, although this was a shock I hope one day to have children the same as yours , you and Jim Bob have done a great job and I will certainly be applying your parenting skills to my children one day, god willing.
    I would like to know how little Josie is doing?
    God bless to you all!
    Love Jennifer Williams xxxx

  9. I would tell her that she inspires a lot of people and really imparts her wisdom on others. I would also thank her for doing so. Happy Birthday, Michelle. I hope you are having a wonderful time with your amazing husband, children, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. They are lucky to have you as their wife, mama, mother-in-law, and grandmother.

  12. Happy Birthday to such a wonderful mother and spirtual leader. She has changed my life for the better, as well as her whole family. She led me to God and I was baptizied into the Christian faith last summer. I believe you have to listen to what God says and bestow upon people love and a heart, just as the Michelle, Jim Bob and all their kids have done. Happy Birthday Michelle!

  16. Thank you for showing us the way, living a quiet life of obedience and being willing to open your home to the scrutiny of the world. I have four children on earth and four in heaven: every single one has been a new step of faith. I grew up in ATI. The path for my husband and I and our family has been somewhat different, although I am extremely grateful for my background. It was a schoolmaster, and truly one of the best. It taught me to filter everything through God's Word. Now I know Him as Savior, and life isn't just about being good so that I can get more material blessings here on earth, and hopefully in heaven. Sometimes (shock, shock) giving up earthly blessings in order to show sacrificial love is what really counts. Not sure how I missed that all those years. I'm praying for your kids as they transition from loyalty to you and leaning on the things you have taught them, to being accountable for their own decisions and having to trust and obey God, or else fall. It is a scary time, but there's nothing like learning dependence on Jesus Himself.

  18. I would say hello and have a normal conversation with her as she is a very down to earth woman, no airs or graces and has reared a very well behaved and beautiful family and I would say to her thank goodness there is people like Michelle on this earth to give us all hope and inspiration

  20. My children have memorized your childrens names....I would like to request if you could somewhere on the show do a repetitive Bible verse King James perferably. so that my children would be able to learn some verses through the repetitiveness of the show. I dont know how much control you have but just beg your editors ;P We do not watch tv but we have bought all of your episodes (dvds)You are my baby-sitter once a week on Fridays, because we dont have family or anyone we trust to watch our kids. Thanks for living such pure lives! Because of Him
