The 3 Random Reasons Why We Love Church (And You Should, Too!)

We all have our reasons why we attend church, or don’t attend.  Sometimes I struggle hard with not wanting to attend and be fully present there, other times I don’t struggle at all, I just get in the van and go.  This is just a random post, folks.  I do have some deep feelings about church, religion and God.  I’d love to have a real life conversation about those things with you, if you ever want to.

  Just please don’t get your undies in a bunch over this one, it’s just for fun, K?
1.  It’s a place to learn LIFE FOCUS.  You may think this is weird, but I’m just going to say it anyway:  It’s not a place
to bring forth all that you already know and try to impress others with your knowledge of the Bible.  That’s what I
THOUGHT church was about, before we started regularly attending.  Unfortunately other Christian friends made me
think there was an underlying contest about Bible facts, fashion, and how well you can discipline your children in the pews without making a scene.
For me, church is much like College was.  It’s a place to learn, take notes, and try to better myself through what I’m being taught.  If we learn more about Jesus, we can learn to BE more like Jesus.  The more we ARE like Jesus, the more focused and better our lives are.
2.  You meet people.  As a Stay-at-Home-Mom who was new to town, I didn’t know anyone.  I mean really, I
knew like only a handful of adults, but didn’t know them well.  Church was the place for me to get to know
people.
You might wonder why meeting new people is so important to me.  I’m learning that for me, my quality of life
is greatly increased through the connections that I make.  You never know when you’ll be able to help
someone out, or when you’ll need their help.
The more connections you have, the bigger your help circle becomes.
3.  It’s FUN.  Yes, it really is.  We have a weekly meal, game nights, potlucks, STOP HUNGER food packing day, and other special events that all really increase the fun factor at church.  The things that I think are really fun though are the little things; the conversations in the halls, the laughs over coffee hour, and watching the kids sing.
Life Focus- Community- Fun

Hey Friend! I am truly so glad that you’re here today!

At A Slightly Better Wife, I share about faith, homemaking, homeschooling, and marriage—along with my passion for creating a non-toxic, intentional home. Life isn’t about perfection, but I believe in making small, meaningful choices each day to do things slightly better than before.

My love for simple living and homemaking was deeply shaped by my grandparents. I have the best childhood memories of being in the kitchen with my Grandma Edna, learning the beauty of home-cooked meals and a well-tended home. My Grandpa Link’s storytelling and wisdom instilled in me the value of faith, family, and slowing down to listen during the little moments that make life rich. Their influence is woven into who I am today and I’m so grateful for that.

I’m a wife, a momma of 5, and a homemaker at heart. My husband and I met young, just days after my 18th birthday, and we quickly (like within a week) knew that forever was in our plans.

Together, we built our home on the edge of town, where we’re raising and homeschooling our children while embracing a simple, purposeful life in the city.

Here, you’ll find encouragement for your marriage, practical tips for homemaking, and inspiration to cultivate a home filled with faith and love. Whether you’re looking for a recipe, a fresh perspective, or just a place to feel understood, I hope you’ll stay awhile and explore.

Let’s pursue slightly better together!
