Present Joys

“We thank the Lord of heaven and earth
who hath preserved us from our birth
for present joys, for blessings past,
and for the hope of heaven at last.”

A few weeks ago, I started a new job at Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, joining the in-house creative team as a graphic designer. Here’s a picture of me on the job, in the studio where we work. Well, I’m taking a break on the job in this picture. (We had sparklers left over from a July 4 photoshoot, so we made good use of them during leisure time.)

I always have difficulty acclimating myself to new things—the first few weeks at Jeni’s were no different. But I’m now starting to settle into things there and I am really enjoying it. I’m working in a relaxed, visually-stimulating office with a bunch of very fascinating, charming people. I’m very thankful for how things have played out.

“The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.”
