From the pattern description: “The verse on these mittens reads ‘Do not store up for yourselves treasures here on earth, where moth and rust destory and thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy and thieves do not break in and steal, for where your treasure is there your heart will be also…But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you. St. Matthew 6:19-21, 33’.”
