Trials and parenting?

So I know that many people ask the question, " Why do bad things happen to people who love God?" I think I have always thought that it's because we live in a sinful world, and because all things are for God's glory, so if it brings Him glory to go through a trial, then that could be why. But many reasons we may not know until heaven one day.

1 John 2:16,"For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world."

Romans 5:12, "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned— "

Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

But this past week I was thinking about parenting (basically consumes most of my day!). Would any of us not want our children to expereince pain...well silly question, YES! But in a way, no, we want them to experience some disappointment, consequences, etc. because it builds character and helps them grow. I am constantly having to discipline so that my children learn to obey God and others, and become less selfish. So I believe that God does not like to see us hurt, but at the same time He knows that it produces character and growth, and that we wouldn't be the way we are after a trial had we never experienced it. I know in my own life I would not have made the same decisions had we not lost Brady. And I pray that God is glorified through all of life's ups and downs.

Romans 5:2b-5,"And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. "
