From Jehovah you will receive the . . . reward.—Col. 3:24.

 

Today, elders can be certain that Jehovah sees and values their fine work. In addition to shepherding, teaching, and preaching, many elders support construction projects and disaster relief efforts. Others serve on Patient Visitation Groups or Hospital Liaison Committees. Elders who make themselves available for such work see the congregation as Jehovah’s arrangement. They are whole-souled in their assignments and have full trust that God will reward them for what they do. (Col. 3:23, 24) Not all can be elders. But all of us have something to offer Jehovah. Our God appreciates it when we do our best to serve him. He notices our contributions to the worldwide work, no matter how modest. And he rejoices when we overlook an offense and extend forgiveness. Trust that Jehovah values what you can do. He loves you for it, and he will reward you.—Luke 21:1-4. w24.06 23 ¶12-13

The comment starts talking about elders , who rightly deserve our appreciation, but the account of the ‘widow’s mite(Mark 12) shows that Jesus and Jehovah appreciate the best that the ‘little people’ can do for them . They are greater in Jehovah’s eyes than some prominent ones.. 

Collossians speaks a reward , not a material one , but everlasting life ! That is special.

Jehovah appreciates even "small" contributions. If you can't volunteer your time or you don't have money to donate, you can still contribute by getting along with others. Maintaining our unity strengthens the whole brotherhood.
