If a thought can be located as an add to the sentence, or an uttered be a person judgement, and the thought itself is what we get when take the "personal" component of judgement: "(I think), (I guess), (Nobody cares), (They say), ..., that p" => "..., that p" => p.
If it is so, and p is what has meaning (it can be true, or false), what does it mean that p has sense? According to Frege ("Sinn und Bedeutung") sense is what allows p to be so: it has such and such construction, but it might have the other. For example, we can say "It's true, that Sun shines". The p = Sun shines is the component of the sentence "It's true that Sun shines", and at the same time it has a structure of Present indefinite. This Present indefinite is what makes the statement in general, and the message in particular to be able to have meaning.
But such a way, that has been chosen by Frege, leads nowhere, cause all what we must do is to analysis constantly. It doesn't bad at the first sight, yet we never know where to make a stop.
Another theories about the role of the sense as something that shows us wholeness or generality of something. It's like similar to how we pick names for certain sets of something. And, in turn, it relates to our conceptual or categorical vision of the world.
