Ray Kroc was 52 when he first began McDonalds.
Ben Franklin was in his late 40's when he invented bifocals.
Mother Teresa didn't begin her work as a missionary until she was almost 40.

John Elway is the oldest quarterback to ever win a Super Bowl, age 38. After failing 3 times before, John would win 2 Super Bowls in a row before choosing to retire.
Ronald Reagan became President at the age of 69.
Noah was 480 years old when God told him to build an ark.
Moses was 80 years old when he led the Israelites out of Egypt.
Sarah bore Abraham's child when she was 90 years old.
I love Abraham's response on this one, as God told him that his wife will bear a son:
Then Abraham bowed down to the ground, but he laughed to himself in disbelief. “How could I become a father at the age of 100?” he thought. “And how can Sarah have a baby when she is ninety years old?” (Genesis 17)
Just more proof that no matter what age you are God can do something incredible through you,
all you need is a willing heart accessible to Him.
