A Practical Application Of Grit & Grace 

Momma, Grit takes many forms. You've raised and homeschooled 7 children and put up with dear Dwayne for 30+ years. (Please forgive me if I got any of those facts wrong. I'm recalling a video you and Dwayne did together.) You absolutely have grit! I love hearing your insight. I really enjoy Dwayne's videos. He fills a big need in the world today and it's partly your influence that has made him so impactful. Just know that some of us realize that. You compliment one another. I think your channel brings a lovely balance for those of us who watch you both. Thank you and best wishes.

Good to remember that we are no less "gritful" if we need to give ourselves grace and let someone go ♡

Momma, Grit comes in many forms. You've raised and homeschooled 7 children and put up with dear Dwayne 💕

I'm so glad I found your, and Dewayne's, channel. I'm a 28 year old woman who's been struggling a lot with life, and y'alls advice is some of the best I've heard. I've needed to hear a lot of this, and I appreciate y'alls channels so much. I don't have many people in my life to talk to about my struggles, but listening to y'all is like having someone I can talk to and get advice from 💙

So glad you are not camera shy anymore. I was in the 1st class in May of 2022 and you voiced preference to being the camera operator. Excellent job your doing there! Love the videos and I’m sharing them. My daughter gets a lot out of your “Momma” advice. Both of you are people I believe the good Lord had me cross paths with. PS: (Ya got to do that sourdough biscuit video for us when you can)

Damn you people really do got a lot of relevant wisdom without being obnoxious & superficial.

Great Video. As a Veteran I'm working on this myself as I am still trying to transition to civilian life. You both have great advice. Thank You.

To be fair, I wouldn’t want to leave that gorgeous ranch either. 💚 Way to exert your authority gently and effectively, Momma. 🙏🏼

I'm old dog that (thank God) can still learn new tricks, thanks Momma.

Beautiful parable, very clear and memorable .. working on the Grace part. Thanks for your videos!

So inspiring, Momma! Grit & Grace needs to be on a T-Shirt! I’m 57 and trying new things myself. My challenge this year is to start my own horsemanship journey. Thank you. ❤ 😊

😂 lol I’m a female Tia❣️ Thank you for the 💗you give Tia❣️✌️🍀🙏💗♾Maine, USA 🇺🇸

Perfect timing! Just yesterday I decided that grit & grace are going to be my “words” for 2023.

The world needs more Dwaynes and Mommas! God Bless

Your message came across. You and your husband put across the most beautiful, heartfelt, home-y vibe across the distance.. and I'm grateful. Not many places or people on earth offer such warmth and welcome. God bless you. And I second wanting to see that sourdough biscuit recipe!

I can’t tell you how many times I have recently heard the words “you need to remove that person from your life”. Not from seeking it out either. It just pops up in videos I watch. Over and over again in the last couple weeks. I don’t know if this is a message for me. I have had to remove a significant someone from my life and have recently been struggling with that decision; even though I did it over a year ago. Acting on this, is very very hard. I know my stress is lower because of it, but damn, it’s hard. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

"Have courage and be kind. Where there is kindness, there is goodness. And where there is goodness, there is magic" _Cinderella (2015). Your saying remains me of this quote from this magical movie.

So coaxing rather than force. The carot rather than the stick. Be patient, but strong. Thanks for the message.

For me, you and your husband are living illustrations of the word "Wisdom". Thank you. Happy Holidays!

Tia's the princess and she knows it. Lol 💕

What a beaufiful place you and Uncle created Momma ❤️. Horse is absolutely gorgeous!

I really like how you explaine your thaughts also how your husband does it you both make this world a better place thank you

You're alright momma. Dwayne is a lucky man. God bless y'all for all that you do.

Momma, you're so special for us! I'm from Brazil. The world needs you. Thanks for sharing.

I wish you all the best with your channel for 2023.

Great video! You are doing a great job with your channel as is Dwayne. You both are prime examples of wisdom & knowledge. We love & appreciate you both. Yes mam, Grit & Grace are a perfect combination and awesome traits to have. Take care. 😇🙏🏻😇🙏🏻

Aunts(,Tia) kinda like my old Tia Linda. Wonderful video to share.

Appreciate your words. I found your husband's channel first and have enjoyed the wisdom. Your words are encouraging. I think could use grit and grace as a mom (teenager and pre-teen). Definitely need grit and grace with some people I just can't bear to be around but will have to. Thanks for the sound words. 😊 ❤️

Wow, you were describing my 15 year old daughter. She's an only child, we're older parents. I'm at the point where I need to push her some, but she also needs grace. This was really simple, really needed advice. Thank you!

Even if it wasn't your specific intention, your marriage counsel is good and sound. 6:30 to 8:03 does indeed sometimes happen...in marriage as well as other familial and friend relationships, and even with animals/pets. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for caring. Thanks for being you.

East Fork of the Wind River. Ridden all over what used to be the Double Diamond. Very historic area. Check it out DeWayne.

You are one wise woman. I love the grit and grace approach and we all have a history. On a side note, animals need love too.

Great message and practical application for relationship with animal or human.

Grace is empowerment. Not to be confused with mercy. They are two very different things.

Mama, I love your coat and hat

This is so good I had to watch it twice! With respect, and grace, thank you.

I like what your saying. It applies towards balance on raising ones kids too

Thanks for this explanation: Grit and Grace. Good way to put it.

You have a lovely figure, for a women, who had seven children....😊😊😊 Joy from down under Darwin. Take care thank you!! Deanna. You still look great in jeans.......us women should always love ourselfs..

Ooo love that. Grit and grace 🙌🏼😊❤️

Happy holidays to the dry creek family

The clip beginning just saved my day! Thank you!

This is so well said! Your mare Tia reminds me of my Ella - but she has one close friend who she cant bear to be away from. Thanks for sharing! Your channel is really inspiring

Good Morning Mamma 😇 first of all I love your Jacket ! And second of all , great video on handling each situation with individual Horse’s Needs ! Please Keep sharing your wisdom and encouragement. You are using your gifts to change lives . 💜 Laura 💜 Bear 💜 Willow 💜🐴

Good video, I'm glad you are on here. I always had grit with the horses, but people, I'm not so good at that. I might have to much grace with people, sometimes I don't know when to say ENOUGH

I gained grit when I found out I can , at well over 50 and having been born a towny with no ranch experience. I was also a vegan and a raw vegan for more than 15 years....then I went ke-toe and Carni and I was milking cows on a milk share farm and it took off from there. so for the last 5 years I was raising my own food and slaughtering it myself as well.....I stopped last fall when hay production fell so far that I could not afford a doubling of the price and availability was not there...even at double price....I filled the freezer, sold and re homed the base breeding herds, and sold for slaughter on my land the rest. kept most of the hides for tanning....and that is that. Grit is where you find it and how you are able to cultivate it. God Bless You ..DR. Momma

Very good explanation of 'Grit and Grace." Thank you.

we love you momma, keep doing your thing

Way to go on the ride. Horses can really take you out of your comfort zone. 1st time watching one of your videos solid wisdom for life.

I've enjoyed your expertise 🥰 your knowledge thank you. I like this message you put on today that I seen , and I truly believe the same way. No use to have toxic people or family on our path that don't respect our point of view. I just disconnect, because that's the only way. I have enough issues I have to deal by my self and I just can't let that toxicity in my life. Thank you mama creek. Just love your kindness, humble, and motherly ways. I wanted 8 kids to raise and be a stay home mom once, but it wasn't ment to be. It's OK. With the grace of God I let him do is will amen. Thank you for sharing just enjoy listening your wisdom. Take care you and family. Love from Phoenix Arizona ❤️

First time I’ve heard you speak at any length and I enjoyed hearing your message. I’m still working on this aspect. Im able to withstand some things but not others. Knowing where to draw that line is the hard part for me. My tendency is to cut things off short. I’m working on it. 😊

Love it DC Momma !!! Proud to hear of your grit. I proud to say I have a great lady with grit also.

Another great video! I needed this challenge… often it’s much easier for me to show grace than it is grit. Coming up in this new year Im hoping to work on finding the balance!

That is so helpful. Thank you. :)

Momma I needed this message today. I'm crying because I need to leave the abusers behind. I spent my life as a single mom working 3 jobs with no child support but spent Christmas beat up. I look at my skin with its bruises. I need to just leave. I'm going to cry off this and start over on my own. Tomorrow is a new year.

My name is Tia!! Thanks for the amazing video mama, from one mama to another, you are awesome 🤩

Thank you for this today....As with most things in my life, it appeared exactly when I needed it.

Good video - glad you are both posting - thank you.

Simply beautiful, thank you for your illustration

As an only child, I can relate to Tina! They're all different. Happy New Year, folks! 👍😄

I’m so glad that you started a channel! Can’t wait to follow along. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and encouragement 😊

I appreciate you 💞

I respect and really apprcieate your talks. Direct and meaningful.

DeAnna, has been reading my mail!!

Thanks so much I totally get what you are saying, sometimes as much as it hurts ya just gotta lrt em' go!!

Glad too see both of y’all posting!

much love.

Very helpful and affirming. Thank you.

Great advice and food for thought. And complete with a little of The Old Double Diamond by Gary McMahan!

Sooo happy you made a channel!

Awesome, thanks

ive taken your first videos advice with that grit and grace thing.. there really is something to that. im currently really busy giving my brother tons of grit but it started with grace, with that i was able to open him up and just lay into him and tell him about how hes messing things up. im doing a different mixture at my job theyre just working me so hard and everyone around has their head up in the clouds, i cant turn around without someone creating a problem, but when i apply grit and grace, i get the opportunity to be heard and i get the acknowledgment that they do know about it all. now things hasnt been improving a whole lot yet but things are crystal clear and i get to hold my head up high knowing that im doing the right thing. awesome video!!

Great video. Yes we all need to have Grit and more Grace ❤️

Beautifully said! Thank you

Thanks

I’m so grateful for you! 😍

Great channel mamma, you are a RU-vid gem 😀👍

I love your coat ❤

This was such an interesting concept, and definitely something I will keep in mind while interacting with the people around me. I've had difficulties getting along with, and feeling comfortable around, other people -- maybe in part due to being in a community where I did not fit in. So, I found myself constantly feeling like people should be able to see MY side of the story, or at least they would understand if I told them. Unfortunately, life doesn't always work like that. Someone might simply be in too different headspace to really understand your perspectives, and vice versa. Lately, I've found that I don't push people to see things my way like I used to. I'm more open to that we all have our individual journey, and the best course of action is to support each other to the best of our abilities. I guess one could say I'm learning to exercise grace.

Your words came across clear, no worries! Nice video. Happy New Year!

I needed this. Thank you ❤

Looks like you are wearing some cozy mittens! They are the best for keeping hands warm, right? I've sure been putting my wooly mittens to good use these past few weeks when shoveling snow during frigid, sub freezing temps. Best to you, enjoyed the intro music and your message.

Great advice! 👍🤗

Cool little intro!

Happy holidays guys❤

Thank you Deanna for sharing this message, your words were very timely for me. It's a good challenge. Thank you for the practical example and also loved how you worded it.

Thank You Momma

Very clear. Very helpful. 💜

That’s awesome

Perfect.......🇨🇦

What A beautiful video! this lesson truly resonated with me. I've never thought about grit and grace as a pair before and now that you have explained the importance of the two, it all just makes sense. Especially when you connect it with the people in one's life. Thank You Dry Creek Mama for your wisdom!

Thank you for the video.😊

I really needed to hear this at this point in my life. Thank you so much.

Dry Creek Mama ---- I love the action intro, and Tia seems like a sweetheart. If she’s slid into that Long-In-the-Tooth, antisocial mode of socializing with others, maybe she just needs an Old Gray Mare to go shopping with, you know, for the best grass. Interesting question to ponder: Does refusing to be bullied by the crowd mean that you are a dominate bully?

So good to hear this.... Apart- That's a wonderful hacker you are wearing - what is it, if you alliw nw to ask.... 🙏🙏🙏

Good one.

Thanks, momma Diana, that was beautiful and insightful!

I am really curious about this situation with Tia and the herd. She seems to content to be displaying blood letting dominant aggression issues. A long lenses camera set up to watch herd behavior for “Who Done It” sign would get my vote of a 25 Dollars contribution. Okay, 50 bucks, I’m getting excited.

Toxic people aren't just people who are mildly irritating or boisterous. They are people who try to destroy or damage you, people who poison your life. Real grit means removing them from your life, and grace means praying for them to have a change of heart at the deepest level. God changes people's hearts, not us. Our work is to have discernment, grit, and grace.
