How does the strength of a Lewis acid affect its ability to accept or donate electron pairs?

Stronger acid means its ability to accept electrons is higher

A strong Lewis acid easily accepts electron pairs due to electronegativity, or an acid being a cation. Meanwhile a strong Lewis base easily donates an electron pair.
