About this listen

This Thanksgiving, the Jones family discovers that gratitude isn’t just about turkey and table settings—it’s about opening your heart to someone who has forgotten what belonging feels like. As preparations swirl through the house, the kids notice something deeper stirring across the sidewalk: Mr. Thompson, their once-grumpy neighbor, is carrying a grief he’s never spoken aloud.

When the Joneses invite him to share Thanksgiving, the door opens not just to a meal, but to healing. Through laughter, stories, and a seat saved just for him, Mr. Thompson reveals the painful history behind his lonely holidays—and finds unexpected comfort with a family who refuses to let him stay isolated. With warmth, gentle humor, and the unmistakable touch of God’s restoring love, this episode reminds us that gratitude grows best when shared, and no heart is too broken for God to mend.
