On the Banks of the Rio Grande

Every time we go through Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, we pass this little home. It is right on the banks of the Rio Grande, facing toward the US. It serves to remind me to count my blessings and know that I am blessed.

Wow, how sad! Do you think it's actually someone's home?

In answer to Kelly's question: Almost every time we go by, there is a man there. We have seen him cooking over a little fire he has made or just standing, as Steve says, "Casting a wistful eye, to the 'Promised Land'," so close and yet so far way. It's sad.

That's a place I've never been - Nuevo Laredo. That's unreal that someone lives there. Thank you, Lord, for Your blessings on me.
