It is amazing how something we feel cursed about can actually be a vessel for gifts. I was in a wheel chair as a little girl and never wanted help form anyone. Until one day a man after church offered to help me in my car. I told him "no, thank you". Later my mom explained that it would have been a nice gift if I would have let him experience the joy of helping me. Interesting? One may wonder if our needs and our "disabilities" are what bring us together and otherwise we may never have a reason to reach out of ourselves to others. What do you think is a good way for a non-stutterer to reach out to a person who does stutter?
