Help With Fences

Recently a friend of mine made a comment that annoyed me.  She said that she wanted help with a problem, but she wanted me to either just listen to her talk about it or encourage me in what she was going to do, but she didn’t want to hear any correction.  It’s been bugging me for awhile.  This morning, this story came to me.

There was a man who owned a ranch.  His cattle would often graze beyond his property into his neighbor’s property when they went to drink at a creek near the property line.  His neighbor was getting angry about it, so the man decided to build a fence.  He’d never built a fence before and found it to be hard labor.  At one point, a friend came by and asked him about the fence.  The man explained the reason for the fence and asked his friend if he would help.
