John 19:23-42

While Jesus was on the cross, the soldiers divided up His clothes among them. Jesus saw His mother Mary and John standing by the cross and He told John to take care of her. After Jesus asked for something to drink, He died. Then, Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus took His body and laid it in a tomb.

Even with everything He was going through, Jesus still took the time to ensure that Mary would be cared for. Sometimes we can get wrapped up in the most trivial things and find that we are "too busy" to meet the needs of others. If you find yourself too busy to offer help to the people around you, take another look at what's filling your time. Is it really necessary or is it just useless filler taking you away from the work that God has called each of us to?
