After five months in a hospital bed, Gracie came home—hooked to drains, fragile, and unable to sit up for more than a few minutes. I pulled her out of the truck, and just as we were about to head inside, she stopped.
Eyes closed. Face tilted upward.
"Oh… that feels wonderful."
It wasn't a miracle. It was a warm summer mountain breeze.
But when you've been breathing hospital air for nearly half a year, that breeze feels like Eden. The cool of the day. In Hebrew: רוּחַ הַיּוֹם (ruach hayom)—the wind of the day, the gentle breath of God that walked with Adam and Eve through their brokenness.
That's what this episode is about. Not just a hymn. Not just a breeze. But the presence of God showing up when suffering suffocates.
I also talk candidly about a hard truth for many caregivers: "Lord, would You please just take them home?"
That's not a death wish. That's not despair. That's faith reaching for mercy.
How Great Thou Art belongs on the front line of every caregiver's hymnbook. That's why it's part of my new series: 30 Hymns Every Caregiver Should Know. Because sometimes your theology needs melody—when words fail and your soul forgets the tune of hope.
🎧 Listen in. Let the mountain breeze blow. And remember: He still walks with us.
