A MESSAGE OF HOPE

I read the story of how white marigold flowers were originated recently and i learn t a message in perseverance.Below is the story of WALDO EMERSON
Emerson read in the dailies that there was needed urgently white marigold flowers from which other colors could be combined easily.At that time there were only blue, yellow and pink colors of the flower.Waldo heard this and gathered all the faintest yellow seeds of marigold she could get and she planted them. Her kids laughed at her diligence and her husband to joined them.Year in and year out when it was summer she collected the seeds of the faintest yellow flower she could get and she planted them in preparation for spring.
Year in year out,she continued gathering seeds and replanting,the yellow flowers grew fainter and fainter but there was no pure white marigold flower in her little cottage garden.Her husband grew old and died, her children married and she was left alone with a maid, yet the yellow flowers just grew fainter and fainter but there was no white marigold.Many times she was discouraged and felt like giving up but she decided to keep on trying and she reasoned rightly that since she had been on it for so long she would keep on trying till death so she gathered seeds of the faintest yellow flower and she planted them amidst the other thousands of marigold flowers...........
