On days when I am overwhelmed with the busyness and troubles of life, the one sure thing that helps me find peace is to ponder on the promises of God. Sitting by the pond at Hamstra Gardens while looking out toward a boat appropriately named “Ponder” seems like an ideal spot for contemplation, don’t you think?

“These things I have spoken to you
so that in Me you may have peace.
In the world you have tribulation,
but take courage;
I have overcome the world.”

– John 16:33
