I was able to visit family in Illinois over the Christmas break. One morning, as I enjoyed coffee at my sister's house, I felt grateful for the opportunity to recharge with loved ones over Christmas and reflective on the year that had passed. If you didn't achieve your financial goals in 2025, be kind to yourself; life is full of unexpected challenges. If you're ready to regain control and cultivate healthy financial habits in 2026, we're here to support you. By adopting proactive financial habits, you can experience a profound shift towards a more secure, stable, and liberated life. You are worth it!

There is still time, but soon the opportunity to use your Thrivent Action Teams for 2025 will be closed. Every year the number of grants implemented in our community has grown. In 2024 Lydia's clients used 408! That's a very high number, but how fun if we could break our record again! Get involved and go online to submit your application before the end of the month. #livegenerously #brickstreetfinancialgroup

I was reminded at church this weekend that salvation is for ALL of us because of God’s gift to us in baby Jesus. What a beautiful reminder! The birth of Jesus is such a powerful sign that God comes toward us—not just to a few people, but to everyone, exactly as we are. A tiny baby, born into an ordinary family, shows that God’s love isn’t distant, it’s here for all of us. Thank you to all our clients near and far. Praying you have a Merry Christmas! - Lydia

A wonderful job perk of having a downtown office is getting to see the Washington County Elementary students carol on the court house lawn. Hearing a chorus of "Let's give thanks to the Lord above, 'cause Santa Claus comes tonight!" will put anyone in the Christmas spirit. What is your favorite Christmas song? 🎄🎵❤️

Seven days!! Somehow there are only seven days until Christmas. We have been preparing for Christmas through the Advent season and as we focus on JOY this week this is a gentle reminder that is goes so much deeper than happiness. Christians can claim a deep, lasting, powerful contentment in the gift of Christ at Christmas. There is still a to-do list to conquer but doing so with a joyful heart helps to keep the reason for the season in focus. From now until January 5th our office hours will vary. Please call before you plan to stop by or email us. We are available and are also spending extra time with our families. #brickstreetfinancialgroup #joy #advent #livegenersouly #officehours #christmasbreak
