Mrs. Shapiro* had a house full of kids. Somebody who was not religious wanted to eat by the Shapiros’ for the Shabbos seudah. Mrs. Shapiro was worried that the kids would fight by the seudah and it would be a chillul Hashem. Then she said, “You know, Hashem is in charge of emotions. Hashem can make everything work out.” This non-religious person came, and the kids were fighting the whole seudah nonstop. Despite that, the guest said, ”Wow. I’m so impressed with your children. They are so well behaved. You have such a nice family! We have no family, we live for nothing. We die for nothing. You have a purpose, you have children. They’re so sweet!”
