Dry Skin.

Somewhere between the first of October and sometime either in April or May I have what I call my dry skin season. My hands dry out and fingers start to crack and split open. Sometimes,no actually most of the time it is very painful. The cracks and splits are at the most in-opportune places all the time. On the side, in the middle of my index finger. Makes it hard to put on my socks and shoes, and then to tie them, oh my! The corners of my thumbs, right by the nail. The tops of my pinky knuckle. I'm talking deep splits when straight, and then if you bend your finger it gets even worse. Mine get so bad that they will even start to bleed. Yeah, I love this season. So I am very thankful that God has used people to create lotions, or skin softeners, to help with this problem area. So I usually apply it right before I lay down for bed. I lather up pretty good, and the start to rub it in. And then the stinging starts, when the lotion gets into the cracks. Stinging and burning. Not pleasant at all. I'm like "what did I do?" Then guess what? How do I make it stop? I start to pray! Now you may think that it is silly to pray for this but, nothing is to small or to big for God right. So as I lay there, my fingers and hands stinging like crazy, I pray! I pray for God to help my hands to stop from stinging and burning. For them to be healed from the cracks and splitting over night. To feel much better the next morning. You know what? They do, because He does. He hears my prayer, and within a couple of minutes the stinging and burning go away. I am able to fall asleep. (Thank You LORD) The next morning they do feel much better. Not completely healed, but much better none the less. I am thankful that my God doesn't just focus and act on the big time prayers. He hears the small ones too. They all matter to Him! All the praise and glory to Jesus, Amen!!
