I have thankfulness that little Falcon was found safe and sound in that box, being that I was worried sick about him flying around in that balloon.
I have thankfulness for all of those Jewish settlements on the West Bank, seeing that Jewish people will be flocking to the Holy Land to celebrate Thanksgiving.
