advice from my parents

I called my parents today and spoke with them. It was about 7am today this morning. but in Indonesia already 10pm.
The last time that i called i think about 2 months ago. Every time I called sometimes their not at home. Today I got a chance to talk to both of them.
the conversation went like these:

Me: horas bach....(my dialect its mean hello)....how are you dad?
Dad: I'm ok. but your mom is having flu. because the weather is change.we got a lot of rains in couple of days and some parts of Jakarta flood too,
Me: is that right? wow.....
Dad: but anyway, how's baby grace and your wife?
Me: oh...there are ok. my wife is working right now, baby grace is playing.
Dad: that's good.
Me: grace here your grandpa wants to talk with you...say something grace...
Baby grace: thehes.aehoeajgaeoeaew.
Dad: she is talking huh.....
Me: yes dad, i just don't understand but she likes to talk on the phone she does not care if we understand her or not.
Dad: hehehehe, oh..yach here your mom whats to talk to you.

Me: "how are you Mom, merry christmas.
 mom: the same to you and your family too. Oh...yach...we missed you. you should call us often .
No matter what happen in your life try to call us.
Me: " i know mom,sorry. I did try but many times you and dad were not home.

 mom: eh...eddie do you remember uncle Charles, he got stroke couple months ago. he can't moved or talk anymore. he just sit in the chair.
Me:...wow....that's really sad mom
 mom: yach...its really hard for family and also us as extended family.
 Mom: oh...Eddie we went to see uncle Tulus today, he's in comma right now. but i want to share with you something funny.
me: what is it mom

 mom: your uncle tulus usually complained and mad for no reason. He thought that nobody care about him.  But last night he was so different. He called his wife and gave her one box(maybe will}...and then he said to her 'PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR EVERYTHING THAT I'VE DONE, LAST NIGHT GOD VISITED ME. HE ASKED ME " DO YOU WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN OR YOU WANT TO BE HEAL,I TOLD HIM, " LORD I WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN" THEREFORE MY TIME IS COMING. then my mom told him " brother don't said that" then uncle reply" sister don't worry i know you, we will meet in heaven. then my dad say: ....oh yach brother i don't know if I'm going to that place because i wasn't 100% good person. then my uncle said" brother do not worry we all go over there because of his GRACE. then your uncle sang a song about GRACE OF GOD
ME: WOW its really  living testimony mom.
 
mom: yach...that's why i want to advice you not to put material things first. you will never satisfy with things you will want some more more. and when the time is come we don't take our wealth with us.we don't take our house with us.  Material things is disappear.  put God first in your life. Just believe in God, if he allows things to happen he has the best plan for you.
God knows that we could handle our problem, that is why he allow it to happen.He knows that we are more than conqueror.
mom: i always wake up 4 in the morning to pray for you and family and all your brothers and family
me: thanks mom ....ok...talk to you next time.
mom: ok...bye..bye..
