Here's Your Sign!

I had a giveaway not so long ago that was sponsored by April at Say it on a Sign. She is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. She did signs for both of our mothers for Mother's Day, and then we had this little beauty done for our home.



We just love the look of it and can't wait to find a wall for it to call home. It has such great character in the distressing.



So thanks April for the signs. They are so awesome and we are so happy to have them!

Then there is Alicia. She is the definition of random acts of kindness. Not because I asked, and not because someone told her it would be a good idea, but just out of the goodness of her heart she handmade and sent us this great sign.



Make sure that if you havent alreay been to her site or read about her daughter Caroline you do so soon. They are in need of all of our prayers.



So from all here at the Fort, thanks to April and Alicia for the great signs they are truly beautiful. True reflections of the people they are made by.

Love and Prayers,

Mr. Thompson your results show you have......

A hemorrhoid.

And the crowd goes wild!!!!!! Praise God for answered prayers for tonight we celebrate.

Yes, NO colon cancer. The cause for concern was only a hemorrhoid as the rest of my colon was free and clear of cancer as well as polyps for that matter.

I am home now and couldn't be feeling any better.

I want to thank each and everyone of you for your thoughts and prayers during this little scare of ours. I don't even have the words to express my gratitude to all of you (many who I don't even know but will learn of you) who have left your kind uplifting comments for me and my family. I can also never say enough to all of the Prayer Soldiers out there who have prayed for me during this time.

If you too would like to be a Prayer Soldier just grab the button from the left sidebar and post it to your blog. Then watch The Fort for prayer request as well as updates to existing prayer requests. You can also email us your own request and they will be posted here as well. Many of these request can also be found on Sited and Blogged which is the social networking site I write and edit for. Those requests are posted there on Mondays.

Again, thanks to all of you who kept us in your thoughts and prayers.

Love and Prayers,

Thank YOU!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you who follow Fort Thompson. A few days ago The Fort reached 200 followers. It is with great honor that I am able to call each of you my friends.

I started this blog in January of 2008 I believe, and its sole purpose then was only to provide family with an avenue to be able to see our kids grow up, and keep in touch. In January of this year all of that changed when I decided to start venturing outside my box a bit. I started really trying to learn about all of you as much as I could. It has been such a thrill to laugh with you, cry with you, share fears with you, and as always pray with/or for you. You all have touched our family in so many ways, and I haven't the words to express how refreshing it is to know that you are always there. We have made so many new friends all of which we are sure will last a lifetime.

There has obviously been allot of things going on lately in our land of blog. That being said there have been many opportunities to pray for those in need. I want to thank all of you who have prayed with us, as well as those who have kept them in your thoughts. It has been so touching to hear of your support to these children through prayer, and to see how many of you who have become Prayer Soldiers here at The Fort by posting the prayer button on your site.

So on this day please don't congratulate us here at Fort Thompson, but let us congratulate you. After all you are the reason for this post. If you are reading this and you are a follower, THANK YOU! If you are reading this and your not, you should click follow at the top now and join in the fun. We so would like the chance to get to know you too.

So instead of giving congratulations leave a comment letting us know what it is that you enjoy about The Fort, or what it is that you would like to see more of. What WE would like to see more of will always be YOU!


Our Love and Prayers Always,

P.S. There is soon to be allot more of the kids posted here as well. So hopefully you enjoy their exploits and all that they do. More on that soon.
