The word prompt today for #wonderfulladvent is count.

Count your blessings
That's what we're told
Blessings seem distance 
When your in a dark cloud
Counting redundancies
Days to pay day
Hospital appointments
Will make your days grey

The government are counting statistics
The amount of vaccine
Showing their graphs 
Makes dismal reading

But counting our days of our lives away
Isn't how it's meant to be
If we have family
To spend Christmas with
Food in the house 
And a nice comfy bed 
We are blessed 
Be contented your life's not a mess
But whatever your counting 
Including calories 
It all means nothing
If your empty inside 

This Christmas,
Countdown to a day where hope 
Was born on earth 
When God stepped out of heaven 
To earth so dark and lost 
To experience human
And go through all that we do
God's son the father is pleased with you 

Born as a baby
Adored and so loved
He humbled himself
To death on a cross
The ultimate blessing for us to count
When accepting Lord Jesus 
Our sins disappeared
Our fate eternity looming
With a king of all blessings 
Through grace pouring down.
