Even a blind squirrel can find a nut
I am writing this post from the borrowed Apple at my daughter’s house where I just heard my son-in-law say these words, “Even a blind squirrel can find a nut.”
That may or may or may or may not be true, but this saying does illustrate an important principle for coaching or encouraging people.
Here it is – always look for that one positive thing about someone, even if you are having trouble seeing anything positive. And, if you have trouble seeing something positive, ask God to reveal that one special positive thing about someone before you open your mouth. It just might be the beginning point of a relationship of encouragement.
How do you start conversations? My wife is far superior to me as a relationship builder. I’m much more like a blind squirrel. Now where’s that nut?
