It translates to, "Perhaps someday it will help* to have remembered even these things." It is from Book 1 of Vergil's Aeneid.
It relates to all those things in one's life... all those trials and tribulations that occur in everyone's life that, at the time, seem insurmountable... but which, years later, we look back with clearer vision and see as a turning point... a crossroads, if you will, in our life.
*Note on "iuvabit"--the basic definition is "help" ("it will help"), but in this case it means something more like "it will be pleasant." A similar thought in English is, "Sometime we'll look back on this and laugh."

What does Ponderis you Domine mean?
Denuo hanc nonam litteram lege, quaeso. Amen dico vobis, quod haec una de Graecorum litterarum est. Nomen huius graece est upsilon. Propterea eloquium tuum non latine est. Graecum a romanis non legitur. Which is to say that the letter 'y' is not a native part of the Latin alphabet so this message is meaningless in Latin. However, "ponderis" could probably be understood as important or dependable, unchanging, etc. "Domine" is vocative and is addressing the lord. To recap: your message is something like "Lord, of an important or heavy or unchanging thing, " with "you" added into the mix.
