One day after a fall that required 14 stitches, 95-year-old former Pres. Jimmy Carter was back at it, helping to build a home with Habitat for Humanity in Tennessee.
With a bandage above his left eye and a large, red welt below it, former President Jimmy Carter was greeted by a cheering crowd Monday morning as he prepared to help build a home with Habitat for Humanity in Nashville.
Carter fell at home on Sunday, requiring 14 stitches, but he did not let his injuries keep him from participating in his 36th building project with the nonprofit Christian housing organization. He turned 95 last Tuesday, becoming the first U.S. president to reach that milestone.He walked slowly across the uneven, muddy ground to the stage helped by a cane and several people who were nearby to steady him.
He spoke about Jesus' brother James who taught that"if your life is not filled with peace, joy and thanksgiving, it's your fault.'" Carter said God gives us life and freedom."With our freedom, every one of us can make a basic decision. ... 'What kind of person do I, myself, choose to be?'"Speaking about what makes a successful life, Carter reminded the crowd that Jesus was poor, and died young, abandoned by his closest friends.Joining Carter at the building site on Monday were former First Lady Rosalynn Carter; husband and wife country music stars Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood; and Tennessee Gov.
The Carters worked on building corbels, a type of support bracket, for one of 21 homes that will be constructed in Nashville this week during the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project. According to Habitat for Humanity an additional 12 new single-family homes and 26 new townhomes will be constructed by 2021 with funds raised through the 2019 Carter Work Project.
