Showing Original Post only (View all)A Knock on my 88 year old Mom's door in a German old age home a little after 5 am this morning [View all]
(which is a little after 11pm last night our time)
Her 85 year old friend from across the hall stood there with tears in her eyes as she said to my Mom: "Wir haben gewonnen!" - WE WON.
This catholic old lady prayed on her knees every day asking for Obama to win, and she kept checking with me to ask how things are going.
Her message to me just now, and to us all was: " Congratulations and be grateful because God saved America"
I also had other calls from Germany congratulating us, my 11 year old nephew said his entire class voted for Obama except for one child.
I'm just tellin' so you have a personal testimony that the whole world was watching.

Both sides of my German ancestry thank you. She's lived through a lot. God bless her.
