You Can Wish President Jimmy Carter Happy 98th Birthday
He has grown peanuts, sat with royalty, and built Habitat homes. Until recently he still taught Sunday School in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. On Saturday, President Jimmy Carter will turn 98.
President Carter is the oldest living president, past or present. He and former first lady Rosalynn Carter, celebrated their 76th wedding anniversary earlier this year. He and his wife have devoted their lives to serving others.
The Early Years
His start in politics began when he served on a local school board. That led to the Georgia Governor’s office and eventually the White House. President Carter’s servant leadership continued for many years after serving in politics. He and his wife donated their time to Habit for Humanity beginning in 1984.
One of my favorite President Carter quotes sums up his outlook on life and his faith.
“I have one life and one chance to make it count for something… My faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference.” – Jimmy Carter
